Graduate Application Terms and Deadlines

While many of our graduate programs admit for any semester (term), some programs only admit for specific semesters. To ensure your application is processed in a timely manner, please select the appropriate term when applying for admission. Below is a list of all programs offered and the semesters available for application. If the program has a specific deadline for application, it is listed. For programs without a listed deadline, the deadlines directly below apply.

International Applicants

• Fall admission (August): Priority date, March 1; secondary date, April 30; late submission, any date after the secondary date
• Spring admission (January): Priority date, August 31; secondary date, September 30; late submission, any date after the secondary date
• Summer admission (May/June): Due to the lack of entry-level coursework offered during the summer semesters, the Graduate School may automatically defer summer applicants to the next fall semester, unless the program specifically admits ONLY for summer semester.
