Important Note About Letters of Recommendation: You must provide the contact information of one professional or academic reference who can speak to your experience, skills, and qualifications. Your reference should be someone who has supervised or worked with you in a professional or academic capacity; family members, friends, or self-references are not accepted. Once you submit your recommender’s details, the system will send them an email with instructions to submit a letter of recommendation. We encourage you to discuss the request with your recommender in advance and submit the request early to allow sufficient time for completion. Your recommendation letter must be received by the application deadline for your application to be considered complete.

Note:  There is no application fee, but your first tuition payment is required by the enrollment deadline to secure a spot in the program should you be admitted.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are powerful and useful, but must be used appropriately within a given context. Our application is designed to help us get to know you as an individual, your goals, and what motivates you. With this framework in mind, we require that your application submission be your own. You are not allowed to copy and paste content into the application that you did not create.
