Requirements

Application Deadline

The HDEV Program works on a rolling admission basis, and classes begin when 18-24 students have enrolled, forming a cohort that will complete the program as a group. The first step is to contact a CAPS enrollment counselor at (626) 815-5301 and/or attend an information meeting. The sooner you submit your admissions materials, the sooner you can begin your program.

Admission Requirements

To be admitted to the Human Development Degree Completion Program, a student needs the following:

  1. Completed CAPS Application for Admission
  2. A $25 nonrefundable application fee
  3. A minimum of 60 units of transferable credit (earned with a C- grade or better) from accredited colleges or universities, documented on official transcripts from each institution attended (Transcripts must be mailed from the colleges or universities directly to APU.

  4. Must be 22 years of age or older
