How to Start

    We suggest you evaluate us beginning with the UA and departmental web sites. Look carefully at the requirements, curriculum, class offerings and faculty research interests. The Graduate Admissions Coordinator in each department can direct you to faculty with interests similar to yours. If you like what you see at the UA, we encourage you to apply to the academic program and to Fellows.
