BEFORE YOU BEGIN

We are glad you have chosen to apply to HIU and we hope to offer guidance in this process. Below are guidelines to help you gather the correct documentation for your application. 

Because this program is very selective, we only allow applicants to apply two years in a row. If you are not selected for an admissions interview in either cycle, we ask that you wait five years before you apply again.
