Admissions will be sending a formal letter out in about a
month but I wanted postbaccs to know that they can apply for the Postbacc
Certificate Program now! If you are a second degree student you will have
to fill out an internal application (so we can avoid more admissions fees) but
it is not ready yet, and you will have to be ready to complete the program with
the 6 lecture/lab requirement. You will also be asked to supply a
personal statement, a letter of recommendation from someone (someone from your
undergrad if you are applying this year would be most helpful for you) and a
passport picture (for the new photo book I am creating and to keep photos on
hand for applications to programs). Pre-registration privileges will not
be available for the Fall (registration will begin too soon for this) but you
will receive priority registration in the Spring 09 semester. Non-degree
students will also have the option of joining the Certificate Program but will
have to be switched to 2nd degree. If you get inquiries from
new students they should know that as of Fall ’09 we will only take in a
maximum of 90 postbaccs into the certificate program and the deadline for Fall
is always November 1st. There is also a service component that
all postbaccs in the program will have to fulfill (14 hours a semester) and
this can be done in a myriad of ways so do not panic about this yet. I
will fill you in as I learn more and plan more for the future but wanted you
all to know that we have finally gotten it together! Have a great
week-end! We are only the 3rd program in NYC with a State of
NY certified postbacc program—the others are NYU and Columbia, so we are
in good company! J
