Admissions by Transfer is open to prospective students who wish to enter as a second-year student. We accept a small number of transfer students, though the precise figure is not predetermined.
You must choose one of these three degree programs at the time of application. The program cannot be changed once your application is submitted. Please check the Degrees page when making your choice.
Admitted students will enter as second year students of a four-year program.
Admissions decisions are based on a screening of the application documents. We invite applicants to an interview only if needed.
