Graduate Application Deadlines
Traditional Domestic
The deadlines listed below are for both on-campus and online traditional programs.
Traditional program semesters are 16 weeks long.
The dates with an "*" are priority deadlines. While applications are accepted one week prior to the first-class day, for these specific programs, applying by the priority deadline ensures a timely admission decision. This allows students to enroll in classes before they fill up and adequately prepare for the start of their academic journey. We strongly encourage all prospective students to submit their application by this date to maximize their chances of a smooth and successful enrollment process.
