It’s that time of the year again, when our Tumblr page is inundated with questions about admissions, transfers, and percentage rates for our programs!

To make it a little easier, and streamlined, we have worked with the Dodge College Admissions Team to create this handy guide that will hopefully answer all your questions! Of course, if you don’t see something that you’d like answered here, feel free to send us an “ASK” and we’d be happy to address it!
