Admissions Committee

CFS has a standing Admissions Committee for each academic degree and certificate program within the department. Each Admissions Committee is responsible for issues related to admission of students to a specific CFS program, recommending policies for student recruitment and advisement to the specific program, establishing and monitoring the minimum program admission requirements, discussing admission trends and reviewing special admission requirements for the program, and reviewing program recruitment and retention strategies as well as student diversity issues, consistent with the Department, College, and University goals.
