Admission

Students accepted into the program must complete admission requirements for Informatics undergraduates, in addition to the items below.

Admission to the professional program is competitive; therefore, completion of the prerequisites does not guarantee admission to the program. Distance learning and classroom options are both available.

Criteria used for class selection will be based on prerequisite course completion, grade point average, and interview.

Applicants should complete this form and return it to Molly Rondeau.
