Prospective Students are encouraged to arrange a virtual meeting with the director to discuss their academic goals and whether LAIAD is a good fit for them.  Classes will all be virtual, and students may also “sit in on a real-time virtual classs to get a better understanding of what we offer.

Admission into the Graduate School Preparation Program requires that all prospective students have at a minimum a bachelor’s degree in any discipline. There are no minimum requirements for grades or test scores. A portfolio is not required for admission.
