How this program interviews

On-campus

Saint Elizabeth holds in-person interviews beginning in late fall through the following spring, with occasional early interviews considered case by case. Admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis once interviews begin, and an interview does not guarantee acceptance.

Source checked Aug 1, 2026. Interview formats and dates can change between cycles.
