Application Deadlines

All applications and credentials for admission to doctoral degree programs for the fall semester should normally be submitted by January 1. Late applications will be considered with prior approval of the appropriate department chairman or program director. Because applications for admission with financial aid are reviewed as they are received, early application is recommended. The deadline for masters candidates is normally March 31, except for the MA in Medical Science which has no deadline and the MS in Genetic Counseling Program which has a deadline of January 15. Contact the Director of Graduate Studies for the department or program of interest to determine the status of the admissions process. For those departments that accept new students in the spring semester, applications should be submitted by October 15, unless prior approval has been granted.
