Application files are not reviewed until all required documents have been submitted. Some delays in review are the result of outstanding documents. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from the SPA Office of Graduate Admissions notifying you once your application is complete and has been moved to the Graduate Admissions Review Committee for review. We encourage you to revisit your completed application account to check the status of your application.
We prioritize a 7-10-business-day turnaround on the review of master's degree applications once they are complete. The final admissions decision will be available on your application account, and you will receive an e-mail from the SPA Office of Graduate Admissions to let you know once an admissions decision is available.
The review process for PhD applications begins in mid-January and most first round decisions are rendered by mid-February. A short wait list may be maintained until mid-March.
