Admission is awarded on a rolling basis. Applications are reviewed, and decisions are processed throughout the year as applications become complete. Candidates are encouraged to complete the application process as soon as possible. The admission decision is based on the overall strength of each student’s academic record and supporting documents. Graduate candidates may transfer graduate-level credits earned from previous institution(s) to Castleton.
