admissions Overview
Welcome All! Are you ready to train for a new career? One that is as rewarding as it is challenging? One that requires hand-skills and complex problem solving? If the answer is yes, then we encourage you to start our no-fee application to begin the admissions process. We work with each candidate individually to meet you where you are, and to help make sure that you are qualified for admission. Our community is dedicated, goal-oriented, welcoming, and inclusive.
The Admissions team is here to help you with the process. We ask for a broad range of requirements, some that are specific to each program, so that we can get a kaleidoscopic view of your candidacy. Your completed file is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. We take all of the requirements into account in order to assess your potential for success here and employability after graduation. Our graduates and the work that they do out in the world is our bond. We welcome you to join us!
