How to Apply

To Apply

• Review the application requirements & Submit WSP Application

Fall Semester—Due first week of April
Spring Semester - Due first week of November

Online applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but it is recommend that you apply as early as possible, because space is limited for each concentration.

• Complete the internal Spelman WSP Application and meet with your department chair to review.

Once you have completed both applications, you must meet with your Spelman Representative, Stacy Washington, Special Academic Programs Manager. Email a copy of both applications (AU-WSP and internal Spelman application), resume and copy of your unofficial transcript to Ms. Washington prior to the meeting (swashi37@spelman.edu).

Print a copy of your applications and save for your records. You can also save as a PDF file.
