Application Terms and Deadlines

Graduate Program Application Terms and Deadlines

While many of our graduate programs admit for any semester (term), some programs only admit for specific semesters. Please select the appropriate term when applying for admission, to ensure your application is processed in a timely manner. Below is a list of all programs offered and the semester(s) 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 applying from outside the US:
Fall admission: May 1
Spring admission: September 1
Summer admission: 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.

US Citizens, Permanent Residents or International Students residing in the US:
Fall admission: July 15
Spring admission: December 1
Summer admission: May 1 (Note for International Students: Due to the lack of entry level coursework offered during the Summer semester, most graduate programs do not admit new international students for the Summer, unless the program specifically admits ONLY for Summer semester. The Graduate School may automatically defer summer applicants to the next fall term for admission consideration. )
