Admissions Decisions
Admissions decisions are made on a continuous basis on completed applications.
Applications will not be deemed "complete" - and no admissions decision will be made - until all application materials listed above are submitted.
Applicants may apply for fall semester admission by the deadline of July 15, and for spring semester admission by the deadline of November 1. As the processing of student visas is often time-consuming, international students are strongly encouraged to submit their application by June 1 for fall admission and by October 1 for spring admission.
