Application Information

The application deadline is January 3rd for fall admission. Applicants should mail their application material at least two weeks prior to the deadline to ensure delivery.

Fee Waivers: In a pilot program to gauge the impact of application fees the Graduate Division is waiving the application fee for all applicants who apply for admission in Fall 2010.  Applicants will be asked for an application code in the online application under the Additional Information section.  To waive the application fee use code 62050725451.  If you have already submitted your application do not send us a check; your application fee will be waived as well. There is no confirmation of the fee waiver being applied, but it is an automatic process for all applicants to the Graduate Division.

Online application. Applicants must submit one official transcript to the Graduate Division for each university they have attended (the mailing address is at the bottom of this page). Letters of recommendation may be submitted online. The application deadline is January 3, 2010 for fall admission.
