Graduate Program Admissions Deadlines

Graduate Admissions Deadlines: All Dates Tentative

These admissions deadlines are target dates determined by the Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) in consultation with each graduate program. Please be aware that any program may post separate dates for interviews, placement essays, or, for example, deadlines for the receipt of testing scores or official transcripts. Remember that the application process will take time. You may need to gather letters of recommendation, and some of you will need to register for tests like GACE or GMAT. Our Graduate Admissions Coordinator will then need to compile complete application folders for the review of graduate faculty and administrators who will themselves make the final determination as to whether you will be admitted, provisionally or otherwise. Financial aid paperwork also takes time and is reviewed by a team separate from the Office of Graduate Studies or the graduate programs themselves. When you begin the application process, we always recommend that you get an early start and that you stay in regular contact with the Graduate Program Coordinator (GPC) of your intended program of study or with the OGS Graduate Admissions Coordinator. Links for GPC contact information may be found below and on the OGS website. Remember that some programs admit students in cohorts and others admit throughout the year.
