First, check the table at right to determine when applications are being accepted for your program. Apply early -- spaces are limited.

For programs that start in Winter Semester, new students begin classes in February. For programs that start in Fall Semester, new students begin in September.

"Priority" and "rolling" admissions

Priority is given to applications received before the deadline. Admission may close after that date. "Rolling" means applications will be accepted as long as spaces are available. Check this site for updates!
