Admissions

Step 1: Admissions Officer Meet and Greet

We want to learn more about you so that you can start learning more about your career to come.
Your academic adventure at Goodwin awaits. Pair up with a personal admissions officer to discuss your ambitions, degree completion options for your program of interest, and your academic accomplishments to come. By meeting you face to face, we get to learn more about you and your goals and the passions that lay the foundation for your future academic endeavors.

Step 2: Enjoy an Overview of Our Campus

Classrooms, café and Connecticut River views
Take a tour around our campus with your admissions officer. Stop into the student lounge café; take a look at our state-of-the-art library; browse our bookstore; or pop into Career Services. Make sure you stop to enjoy the view of the Connecticut River outside our window. Don’t forget, our student support and resources are readily available for you whenever you need them.

Step 3: Step-By-Step Application Assistance

We’ve got your back so that you’ve got your future.
At Goodwin, we recognize that starting to plan for your educational future may seem overwhelming. Your admissions officer is here to help you navigate the application process, and show you that your student success is just on the horizon.

Step 4: A Personalized Approach

From financial aid to those with full-time jobs and families
Now that you've decided to go back to school, how exactly are you going to make it all possible? Your admissions officer at Goodwin will pair you with a personalized financial aid staff member. From grants and scholarships to loan options, your financial aid staff member will help you complete your FAFSA and finalize the application process.

Many of our students have full-time jobs, families, or have even previously attended college elsewhere. We understand that our students live busy lives outside of the classroom, but this doesn’t mean it should deter you from reaching your goals. Your academic advisor can evaluate any previous college credits and help prepare your potential class selections.

Step 5: …So what's Next?

Get your smile ready! It’s time to take your student ID picture and attend Student Orientation. Identifying as a student of Goodwin University communicates to you, your family, and the world that you care about your professional career, your community, and your commitment to lifelong learning.
