You don’t need to be admitted to a degree program to start taking classes, but we recommend beginning your application process as soon as you’ve decided to pursue a degree at Nichols. Once accepted, you’ll be assigned an academic advisor to support you in planning out your coursework. You’ll also be eligible for Federal Student Aid.
