Most Popular Fields of Study

Admissions

Admissions are non-competitive. Prospective students are expected to complete an application for enrollment, an interview questionnaire, and financial aid forms if applicable. All incoming students interview with an admissions representative and receive a tour of the facility. Once this process is complete, students will be informed of their status within seven days. The Director of Education will evaluate any previous training and education to determine whether credit is transferable. Students applying for advanced standing must submit an official transcript with catalog class descriptions for review prior to beginning their program of study. No more than 50% of total credits may be transferred.

Financial Aid

All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid. There is no application deadline but applications are considered in the order received, so it is important to finish this paperwork as early as possible. A student’s expected family contribution is used in determining need. Participating federal financial aid programs include:

  • Federal Pell Grants
  • Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
  • Federal Work Study
  • Stafford Loans (both subsidized and unsubsidized)
