How to apply
Â鶹ÊÓƵ uses the rolling admission process: that is, we continually accept and review applications. This provides an advantage of starting the program at your convenience.
To begin the admission process, please complete an online application and pay a non-refundable $50 application fee (may be waived for teachers from partner school districts). Please note that the online system allows you to save and edit sections prior to submitting your application.

- Resume
- Three letters of recommendation
- For international applicants: Foreign transcript evaluation and evidence of English language proficiency. Read about the application process for international students here
- Clearances as required by the state of Pennsylvania prior to the start date of the first course
