Admissions are determined by an applicant’s writing ability, engagement in extracurricular and community service activities, recommendations, standardized test scores and relationship to the university. Arts, Animation, Dance, Theatre and Music students must submit a portfolio and arrange an audition. Students who file a FAFSA by February 1 of the prior academic year will be considered to receive financial aid through many institutional scholarships, state and federal grants, loans and veteran’s benefits.
