The VIP Program allows current Stonehill students to be fast-tracked through the graduate admission process, including an abbreviated application, when nominated by an advisor and/or department chair.
The VIP Graduate Admission Program was established to retain talented Stonehill undergraduate students in pursuit of their graduate education. The VIP program is by invitation only, based on academic advisor and/or department chair nomination. The nomination serves as the highest form of recommendation and only the very best of Stonehill's undergraduate students secure this honor.
The VIP nomination process allows an academic advisor and/or department chair to recognize an outstanding Stonehill College student for admission into a graduate program. Both domestic and international students can qualify.
To be eligible, the student must meet the following requirements:
Once an advisor or department chair has identified a potential VIP nominee, they should contact the Office of Graduate Studies. The Dean of Graduate Studies will then contact the prospective VIP student to inform them of the nomination and provide further instructions and a link to our VIP application.
A student may also request a nomination from their faculty advisor. To look up your faculty advisor, please log into your myHill account and click the "My Profile" link in the top right corner.
Once the Office of Graduate Studies receives the VIP application, the nomination and application will be reviewed by the admission team. The student will be notified of their admission status by the Office of Graduate Studies.
VIP nominations and applications should be received and submitted by the corresponding program deadlines. Learn more about graduate admission deadlines.
Graduate & Professional Studies Admission assists students as they explore graduate and professional opportunities offered at Stonehill College.
