The CBP hosts several informational meetings for interested first-year students. In the fall term, all sophomores interested in applying to the CBP must submit an application which includes a writing sample, resume, and three recommendation letters/froms, with at least one from at Hanover College professor.

Applicants must also attend a colloquium offered during fall term. The three-hour session includes a case discussion, which allows the applicants to work in a team to examine the issues involved in the case. The application packets, including scores from the colloquia, are evaluated and reviewed by faculty and alumni members of the CBP Admissions Committee. This committee makes recommendations on which applicants are admitted into the program.

Admission criteria are listed on the Admission Information page.
