Step 2: Important Dates & Deadlines

Arden University has four intakes per year:

– February

Application Deadlines:

We recommend submitting your application 30-90 days before your chosen intake to allow time for processing.

Applications can typically be completed within 30 days if:

Applying less than 30 days before the start date? Contact an agent first to confirm eligibility.
