There are two online application periods each academic year: first-year students should apply during the spring semester; sophomores and transfer students may do so during the fall semester. Candidates for the certificate will be selected on the basis of their academic achievement and promise, leadership potential, and ability to articulate their reasons for pursuing an interdisciplinary program combining arts and sciences with business.
Although not required for admission, LAMP encourages interested students to prepare themselves during their first year by taking the following:
