The first step in the admissions process is to complete our general questionnaire and schedule an interview with an admissions representative. This initial discussion is our chance to learn about your qualifications, past experience and future goals, and your chance to learn how USTSV can help you achieve your aspirations. Background about specific programs, tuition, payment plans, and entrance requirements are also reviewed in detail. The interview can be completed in person or over the phone.
