Admissions recommendations

- We also recommend that applicants have meaningful exposure to one or more clinical populations.
- Applicants are strongly encouraged to identify faculty members with whom they have overlapping research interests and contact those faculty members in advance to inquire if they are taking graduate students that year.
Timeline for the admissions process
- Applications are due November 15th each year.
- Applications are evaluated by CN faculty. We typically interview 8-10 students virtually in January. Following those interviews and additional consideration by CN and departmental faculty, 3-4 students are offered admission by early March each year.
- Students who are offered admission are invited to an open house in early March so that they may meet with faculty and students, tour program facilities, and ask questions. In accordance with CPA accreditation policies, all applicants have until April 15 to accept or decline offers of admission.
