THE APPLICATION PROCESS

Every applicant must complete an application package which includes a brief biography and an application essay.  In addition, every applicant must undergo an interview with staff members, either telephonically, or via interactive video.  Carland College only accepts adult learners.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

Applicants must present evidence of potential for success in the chosen program.  The Evaluation Committee considers experience, education, the application essay, and performance during the interview, to determine whether it feels that a candidate can succeed in the program.

A Certificate student is non-degree seeking. If the student decides to pursue a degree, he or she must meet entrance requirements in place at the time of the request for a change of status. If accepted into a degree program, the student will be able to retain credit for courses successfully completed in the Certificate program.
