Admissions Process
The application for the CMPR Minor consists of an entrance exam and supplementary application material. Both are due Friday, February 9th.
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 (10:00 p.m. 10/03 - 5:00 p.m. 10/11). 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 October 3rd 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 into which are due no later than 5:00 p.m on Friday, October 11.
Please note: Only complete applications, including the entrance exam and supplementary application materials, will be considered.
