How to Apply

Application procedures vary according to the individual program. Each program description has a section regarding how to apply. Please read application procedures for individual programs carefully. Some programs require supporting documents such as proof of language proficiency or writing samples in addition to the application form. Several programs require auditions or creative submissions. Individual program contacts can help answer any questions you may have about the application process.

Application Deadlines
A priority deadline is specified for each program. Since some programs fill very quickly, applying before this deadline is strongly encouraged. Applications received after the priority deadline will be considered if there is space left in the program and/or ample time for newly admitted individuals to obtain any necessary visas or other required documents.

Application Review
Applications are reviewed as a whole, with close attention paid to the cumulative grade point average and overall strength of academic performance. Supplemental items such as personal statements and foreign language verifications (if required) are also considered.

Only completed applications are reviewed. The review process for a completed application is typically two to four weeks. Applications missing any required items such as personal statements or academic transcripts are not able to be reviewed.
