Summarized from the program’s admissions information. Confirm current selection criteria with the program.
Program admissions informationInterviews are held on the Omaha and Kearney campuses, and the campus where you interview does not determine where you are placed. The program explicitly does not use rolling admissions — more than 85% of selections are made after all interviews are finished, so a later interview date is not a disadvantage here.
Source checked Jul 26, 2026. Interview formats and dates can change between cycles.
