Transfer Early Decision and Spring Admission Information:

Transfer applicants to the School of Art may apply Early Decision. On the Transfer Common Application, you will first need to choose if you're applying for Spring 2019 or Fall 2019 admission by selecting the appropriate academic program for the Bachelor of Fine Arts. You will see that the only option initially is 'Regular Decision' for your Decision Plan. Once you select your desired Bachelor of Fine Arts program (i.e. Spring 2019 or Fall 2019), you will see the questions regarding Early Decision in the Academics section of the application. This is where you will indicate your desire to apply Early Decision. Please note that all Spring 2019 Bachelor of Fine Arts applicants must apply Early Decision and must be Transfer students. If you do not wish to apply Early Decision, then you will have to apply for Fall 2019 admission. Please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@cooper.edu or 212-353-4120 with any questions or concerns.
