Specialized Admissions Programs

Thank you for applying to one of our CARTA programs. As outlined in your admissions notification letter, the program you’ve applied for is classified under Specialized Admissions and requires additional steps before your application can be reviewed.

This classification means that these programs have more selective admission criteria, including GPA, auditions, or portfolios, which evaluate academic ability, creativity, or talent. This process helps manage enrollment effectively to ensure academic progression and success, especially when student demand exceeds available resources such as space, equipment, instructional facilities, and the student-faculty ratios required by accrediting bodies.

Information on the specific requirements for each program and the steps required for the completion of your application can be found below.
