Admissions Advising
Got a quick question? We offer drop-in advising over Zoom every Friday from 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. for prospective and current applicants to our programs. Please note that these drop-in sessions are meant for brief advising and may not go into as much detail so that we can accommodate and provide service to other students as well.
