Deadline Policy

All application materials, including recommendations, should be submitted by the December 5th deadline. Review and/or consideration of incomplete applications or late materials is at the discretion of the Ph.D. admissions committee.

Reapplication Procedures

Some individuals apply to the Ph.D. program more than once.  These applicants will need to submit a complete application through the Application for Graduate Study just like any other first-time applicant. However official test scores submitted during the previous admissions cycle will be kept on record and will not need to be reported again. Applying to the program multiple times does not increase or decrease your chances of being admitted. Each application cycle is a fresh start.
