Admission interviews, while not usually required, are highly recommended.  The interview enables the applicant to receive further information about the College and enhances her admission credentials through the oral presentation of additional strengths or talents.  Applicants are also invited to take a tour of the campus and to visit classes.  Campus visits can be arranged through the Office of Admission at 1-800-933-5923.

The College utilizes a rolling admission system beginning November 1. A decision is usually reached within two weeks of the completion of an applicant's folder.  Students are encouraged to submit their admission credentials as early as possible and, if accepted, to enroll by May 1.  Students accepted after May 1 should enroll as soon as possible.
