Before Admission
You may test the waters by taking up to 9 hours of SISLT coursework, but keep in mind:
- Taking courses prior to applying does not guarantee admission
- Be sure to take courses that will be included in your Program of Study – check with the Student Coordinator Office before enrolling
- No more than 9 hours will count towards your degree before you are officially accepted into the program
Deadlines
- Applications due April 1st for fall admission, October 1st for the spring
- If accepted, you will receive admissions letters from the Graduate School and from SISLT
