Application packets can be downloaded . Alternatively, it is possible to have an application packet sent to your home. While either method is acceptable, students are strongly encouraged to use the downloadable application packet. Application materials are slightly different for each group, so please read carefully. While it is not required that you send all your application materials at the same time, it is greatly appreciated.
Early applications are particularly helpful.
Please note that any materials sent in addition to those listed above are considered non-essential and do not enhance your application. Generally, all of our Ph.D. students are fully supported by a research or teaching assistantship that covers tuition and provides a stipend for living expenses. Students who enroll in the Ph.D. program have more opportunity for financial assistance than students seeking an MS degree do. However, in some instances, a student is admitted without funding. As a general rule, Ph.D. students receive more serious consideration than MS students.
