HOW DO I APPLY TO BHA, BSA, or BCSA?

Students may enter the BHA, BSA, or BCSA program in one of two ways: as an incoming freshman, or as an internal transfer student. Over half of the students enter the programs as internal transfer candidates. Internal transfer students have the same admission requirements as incoming freshmen.

Students interested in the BHA program must apply and be admitted to both the College of Fine Arts and the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Students interested in the BSA program must apply and be admitted to both the College of Fine Arts and the Mellon College of Science. Students interested in the BCSA program must apply and be admitted to both the College of Fine Arts and the School of Computer Science. BHA, BSA, and BCSA applicants must submit an essay of interdisciplinary intent. These programs are competitive, therefore not all students admitted to both colleges are selected for BHA, BSA, or BCSA.
