The CSAA Program typically admits students to begin study in the Fall semester. Preference will be given to applications received by June 1. The CSAA Program also conducts interviews for graduate assistantships during an Interview Conference. Attendance at the Interview Conference is not required for admission to the program but is highly recommended to learn more about the program and meet currently enrolled students. For an invitation to participate in the Interview Conference (February 21-23, 2013), applications should be received by January 1, 2013. Spring admission will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact CSAA Program Advisor, Dr. Jim Hurd, at jhurd@uwf.edu or 850.474.2214.
