As a small, private college, the Admissions Office is able to employ a highly personalized admissions process. The Admissions Office staff thoughtfully and carefully considers all applications to the College. Some programs may require samples of work such as prints or slides, short stories, or other brief items of interest. Please make appointments at least two weeks prior to an anticipated visit.

Preference is given to applications postmarked by the priority due date.

If admission is offered, a nonrefundable tuition deposit is due prior to the reply date to reserve space for the term. Students who send in deposits after an incoming term has filled are placed on a waiting list.
