To take any graduate course for credit, even if not intending to pursue a degree or College of New Rochelle certificate, a student must be officially admitted into the Graduate School. To pursue a degree or certificate, a student must matriculate.
Admission to all programs is on a rolling basis. Applications and other supporting documents must be submitted at least one month prior to the start of the next session. Upon receipt and review of the application packet, the prospective student is called for a personal interview with the Director or Assistant Dean of the intended program. A writing sample is done at this time. Each student is assigned an advisor who comes from his/her area of specialization. Student and professor meet each semester to discuss academic options, progress, and outcomes.
Area professionals who qualify may study as non-matriculants by enrolling during in-person registration days which are scheduled prior to the start of each academic session. Non-matriculants must come to register with official proof of their baccalaureate.
Application Requirements:
- Signed application, including personal statement
- $35 non-refundable application fee
- Official undergraduate and graduate transcript(s) from all academic institutions attended
- Two letters of recommendation in sealed envelopes
- Completed Immunization Record Form
- Portfolio Review and Resume (Art Education, Art Therapy, Studio Art majors only)
