Casper 

All applicants are required to complete Casper as part of their application for the 2025/26 admissions cycle. Casper is an online, open-response situational judgment test that takes 65-85 minutes to complete.

Casper measures different personal and professional skills that we believe are important for successful students and graduates of our program. It will complement the other tools we use for applicant review and evaluation, and we require Casper as part of our efforts to enhance fairness in our selection process. 

Casper is administered by Acuity Insights.
