The form asks when the applicant wishes to attend (right away, in 3 months, in 6 months, in 1 year, or later) and publishes no fixed application deadline

Eligibility

Applicants must be high school graduates or possess a GED

A high school diploma or GED must be provided before the admission audition/interview

Enrollment

The current academic calendar lists Fall 2026 classes beginning September 28, 2026 and Spring 2027 classes beginning February 1, 2027

Full-time Associate of Applied Arts program delivered over four 15-week semesters

Transfer Pathway

The Musical Theatre program can reduce its general-education course requirements when the Director accepts equivalent accredited coursework completed with at least a C. An official transcript is due by the second week of class and tuition is prorated; KD does not publish advanced standing in the musical-theatre sequence or entry into a later semester.
