Start Your Online Application Now
Click “Start Application” to begin filling out your online application. It will take you out of this website into a new application in Populi, SIEAM’s School Management System. The application is the same for the three-year MAcHM and four-year DAcHM programs. Students choose in their third year whether they will continue in to the fourth year of the doctoral program.
SIEAM accepts applications on a rolling basis, meaning you can apply anytime for the upcoming fall term. After you submit your application online, the Admissions Committee will review it and get back to you by email regarding an interview. We will email you within two weeks after your interview with your admissions status. Applicants who are accepted usually have two (2) weeks to make a decision and send in their enrollment agreement with a nonrefundable $500 deposit to reserve a their place in the entering class. This deposit will be applied to the first trimester's tuition.
Send in Your Official Transcripts.
The online application will prompt you to send copies of your official transcripts to SIEAM Admissions. Please provide official transcripts for all post-secondary schools you have attended. These transcripts should be mailed to the address below or sent digitally to [email protected] (electronic delivery preferred).

We recommend ordering your transcripts early because some institutions take time to process transcript requests.
For schools located in other countries, those transcripts must be evaluated by a credential-evaluation service. We suggest World Education Services.
