Shadowing Opportunities
After careful consideration, DMA has chosen to forego our shadowing program. While we understand it gave prospective students the opportunity to see DMA during the day firsthand, it did not give ALL students who were interested the opportunity, which was unfair. DMA is more than happy to answer any questions you may have about any or all of our programs and we look forward to assisting you when making your high school decision.
