Admissions Process

The application for the CMPR Minor consists of an entrance exam and supplementary application material. Both are due Wednesday, February 12th.

The entrance exam is a short, timed 90-minute exam administered through Brightspace. It consists of two parts: drafting a short press release and editing a press release. The entrance exam will be live for one week (2/5/25 - 2/12/25). You can take the exam on your own schedule, but it is a timed exam so you must complete it in one sitting. Please e-mail Ms. Lisa Tanaka by February 5th at lisa.lugo@lmu.edu to receive a link to the Brightspace exam.

Upon completion of your entrance exam, it will automatically be submitted via Brightspace. You do not need to e-mail your exam.

The supplementary application material consists of two documents:

A pdf of your degree audit, and
An updated resume.

Please email Ms. Lisa Tanaka at lisa.lugo@lmu.edu to request a Box folder to upload your supplementary application materials that are due by 5:00 p.m. February 12th.

Please note: Only complete applications, including the entrance exam and supplementary application materials, will be considered.
