How to Apply

Quick Links

Applying to the Graduate Division involves the completion of an online application form and the submission of required materials by a specific deadline. Some of the materials will be submitted via electronic attachment to the online application form, while others will be mailed. Certain materials are required from all applicants, while other materials are required for only some applicants. For these reasons, it is important that all applicants review the Admission 2013 Graduate Division Application Instructions (pdf) carefully to ensure that they comply with all application procedures and submit all required materials in a timely manner. Applications are reviewed only after all required materials are received.

Prospective students are permitted to apply only once during an annual application cycle (September to June). We suggest you print a copy of your online application for your records, and keep a file of all documents you submit with your application. We cannot return or give you copies of any part of your application, transcripts, translations, letters of recommendation, or supporting materials.
