Admissions

Each year sixty students will be admitted to ProCom. This relatively small number of students means that you will have opportunities to get to know your fellow students and to participate in smaller workshop oriented classes. At ProCom, we encourage networking opportunities between students at all levels of the program, between faculty and students, and between students and our industry/organizational contacts.
