Admissions applications may be submitted at any time, and are evaluated in the order in which they are completed. An application is considered complete upon receipt of the following:
Transcripts and letters of reference may be sent directly to the Office of Admissions, where they will be held (for up to one year) until the application arrives.
There are two priority deadlines each year:
For summer or fall enrollment:
Our priority deadline is March 1 (or Monday, March 3, in 2008). However, the Admissions Office welcomes applications every day of the year. As soon as an application is received, the admissions review process will begin. Students may be accepted throughout the spring and summer for fall matriculation.For spring enrollment:
Our priority deadline is November 1.
Financial Aid deadline:
By April 15, applicants for financial aid must submit the completed FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form to the Federal Processor. Please see the Financial Aid Web page for details.
If, after initial review of the application, the Admissions Committee wishes to proceed in considering an applicant, a faculty member from the appropriate program will contact the applicant to schedule an admissions interview. Occasionally, at the discretion of the program, applicants who live at a distance from the College may be able to arrange to have an interview by phone instead of in person.
Applicants are also asked to come to the College to respond to essay questions asked by each program. This program essay, usually written at the College, must be completed before the admissions interview. Arrangements will be made for those applicants who live at a distance from the College to complete the essay.
Admissions Decisions
Admissions decisions are made throughout the year. Generally, applicants are notified about the admissions decision within four to eight weeks after the application is complete.
For those applicants who meet the priority deadlines, the Office of Graduate Admissions will reach an admissions decision prior to registration for the next academic term.
If an admissions decision has not been made before the start of the semester, prospective students may register for courses as non-matriculated students. Note: non-matriculated registration for courses does not guarantee admission.
