Each class is selected competitively based on applications and interviews. Applicants must commit to the entire two-year course of study. To help assure this commitment, application forms require information about the applicants, organization affiliations, business activities and community service. A narrative section allows applicants to convey their reasons for enrolling.

A selection committee interviews each applicant in October 2011. The interviews are conducted throughout the state at sites convenient for the applicants. Those accepted into the program are notified soon after the interview process.
