Application Deadlines

The 2025-26 Graduate Admissions Application will be available in Mid-September 2024.

• General Deadline will be reviewed by the graduate program but not on a priority basis.
• Space Available Deadline will only be reviewed if the graduate program determines that they have additional space available after reviewing priority and general deadline applications.

Prospective Student Fellowship Deadlines

Graduate Studies administers approximately $6.6 million dollars in internal fellowships annually. The only way to be considered for these fellowships is to apply by your program's priority deadline.

Letters of recommendation may be submitted after the application deadlines, but program review timelines vary. Contact the program's Graduate Coordinator or visit the program's website for information on their timeline.

Applications close after 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the day of the deadline.
