Applying for more than one program

As a domestic applicant, you will need to submit and pay for a separate application if you wish to be considered for more than one program. We will review each application you submit – make sure to provide official transcripts and/or sufficient evidence to show the appropriate admission requirements for all your chosen programs.

As an international applicant, you may select up to two programs per application when applying.  You will have to choose your second program before you submit and pay for your application. Learn more about adding a second-choice program to your international application.
