How to Apply

The College accepts applications for each quarter and students are encouraged to apply as early as a year in advance for the desired quarter. Because the college operates on a rolling admissions basis, applications are reviewed as soon as the Admissions Office has received all of the required application materials. Once materials are received and reviewed, students will be notified and a time for an interview will be scheduled. Applicants will be notified of their status within 2 weeks following the interview (phone interviews are available for out-of-state and international students).

Application deadlines for each quarter are as follows:*

*Applications submitted after the application deadline will still be considered. Priority, however, is given to those individuals whose applications are received before the official deadline.

If a student is accepted into the college and decides to defer, the application fee that student has paid will count toward their first quarter of enrollment (up to 2 quarters from the date of application). Students who pay the $125 application fee and are accepted into their desired quarter will not be eligible to benefit from the early application fee the following quarter(s) if they decide to defer.

To apply, please submit the following to the Office of Admissions:

• A completed MSTCM Application Form
• Application fee ($75 early application fee/$125 regular application fee)
• Official sealed transcripts from all institutions attended
• 2 Letters of Recommendation 
• 2 passport-sized photos
• A current resume
• A Statement of Purpose essay

* A completed health certificate will be required upon acceptance.
