Some programs state specific deadline dates.
Refer to the specific program descriptions given later in this catalogue and the table in the application instructions booklet. Spaces in high-demand programs may be filled quickly, and candidates who delay completion of their applications may thus be denied entrance. International applicants should allow an extra two months if a non-resident student visa will be required. The Office of Graduate Studies must receive a completed application form, the required fee, letters of recommendation, official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate records, a personal statement, and reports of all required examinations before an application is complete and is sent to the department for consideration. Candidates are responsible for the completion of their applications.
