Dates and Deadlines

Application Deadlines:

Q: What is the deadline in order for an applicant to be considered for admission and financial aid?
A: December 1 for fall admission and October 8 for spring admission, but applicants are strongly urged to submit their applications and supporting documents earlier. Applications received after these deadlines will be considered, but the possibility of financial aid is reduced.

Q: When are admission decisions made?
A: Decisions are made on a rolling basis after the deadlines. For instance, we begin to review application files for the fall semester in late December and early January.

Q: Can courses taken as part of the non-degree certificate program be applied later toward a graduate degree?
A:  Yes, students may petition to have up to 12 hours of coursework taken as non-degree count toward the MS degree program.
