How to Apply
Make it happen
Ready to make the move to DSU? Here's what you need to know.
1) Complete the undergraduate application
You'll be asked to list basic information about yourself, your previous school(s), as well as your GPA, standardized test scores, extracurriculars, and any awards you've earned. You'll also write a personal statement. There's a $20 application fee, and you'll need to send your college transcripts.
