How are applicant files evaluated by NACS?

The NACS MSc and Phd programs are research intensive. Students must identify on their application potential faculty research advisors. Those advisors will review your academic record, research experience, and fit to their research program.  The NACS faculty members as a committee will review the recommendations of individual advisors. Admission is very competitive given the restrictions on the number of students we may accept.
