- Comply with departmental admission requirements. (If submitting GRE or GMAT scores, the scores must be sent directly from the
Educational Testing Service to the Office of Graduate Studies & Research.)
It is recommended that students begin the admission process six months prior to their anticipated arrival to allow enough time for
evaluation and notification of the admission decision. Application dead lines are as follows:
- Fall Admission - deadline is May 1*
- Spring Admission - deadline is October 1
- Summer Admission - deadline is March 1
*Students interested in graduate assistantships should apply earlier. See graduate assistantship information.
