Rolling admission for Fall & Spring only (no Summer admission) |
All other departments offer fall, spring, and summer admission and have no specific deadlines. However, it is strongly recommended that applications be completed by February 15 if you wish to receive full consideration for admission, since some programs only admit a limited number of applicants.
International applicants please note: It is strongly recommended that the application be complete three months prior to the term that the applicant wishes to matriculate. Visit the admissions web page for international students for more information.
Merit-based financial assistance is usually awarded by April 15 for the fall semester and November 15 for the spring semester.
