How to Apply to CCMU
- Applicants should ensure they have read The Web That Has No Weaver by Ted Kaptchuk and Between Heaven and Earth by Harriet Beinfeld & Efram Korngold.
- Students should review our academic requirements as well as our start dates and application fees. If you need any clarification, get in touch with our Admissions Department at admissions@ccmu.edu.
- Applicants must complete an application on our online portal linked below. You may return to your application later if you cannot finish it in one sitting. Unfinished applications will not be considered for acceptance.
- Applicants must also submit the following components. These can be submitted as part of your application form online or emailed to admissions@ccmu.edu.
- A completed essay; the prompt given is based on the degree program you are applying for and can be found in the application.
- A current resume or curriculum vitae.
- Two letters of recommendation sent directly to CCMU. If emailed, please include the email address of the sender.
- Certified transcripts sent directly to CCMU from all schools previously attended.
- International applicants must have their transcript evaluated by a NACES member agency, such as International Consultants of Delaware.
- Demonstration of English proficiency, if required.
- Certified credential evaluation, if required.
- An application fee of $75 for U.S. students or $500 for international (i.e. F-1 visa) students. Late fees or transfer student fees may be applied.
- If you are considered eligible, students will be contacted to schedule an interview. While we highly advise students to attend interviews in-person, phone interviews can be scheduled if needed. Students can expect a decision within approximately 30 days.
- Upon acceptance, a refundable tuition deposit of $300 for full-time or $175 for part-time students is required. After the deposit is received, accepted students will receive any material pertaining to the upcoming class (schedule, required book list, orientation date and time, et cetera).
- Accepted applicants must make an appointment with CCMU’s registrar to schedule their classes once the schedule is released; this typically occurs six weeks before the trimester begins.
- Incoming students must attend our orientation, which typically occurs the Friday before the first week of classes.
