Application Process

Information Meetings
All interested students must attend one of the information meetings held in October and March. Students interested in participating in a Fall MCFE need to attend the March information meeting while students interested in the Spring MCFE must attend the October meeting. At these meetings, all available MCFE projects for the following semester will be presented and students will subsequently be able to submit an online application with attached resume and sign up for an interview. The MCFE Office will discuss the interview and selection process and all other necessary information. At the information meeting, the MCFE office will bring in past sponsor organizations as well as students from prior projects to provide you with additional information on the organization and the project.

Interviews
All interested students must sign up for an interview. Interviews generally last 20 minutes and are held with the Program Manager. If students are applying as a team, a group interview is held with the Program Manager. However, students are accepted or declined to the program as individuals, even if applying as a team. Students must supply a current résumé and college transcript prior to the interview.

Acceptance
Accepted students will receive an e-mail informing them of their status in the MCFE program. Notices are sent out prior to the holiday break in December for the Spring semester and prior to finals in May for the Fall semester. Students are accepted, denied or wait-listed to the MCFE program. Accepted students will have to fill out an add/drop form and sign the acceptance letter. Once a student has accepted a MCFE project, it can not be dropped. Other situations will be handled on an individual basis.
