Program Start Dates
New graduate students are admitted three times a year: Spring (January), Summer (May-June) and Fall (late August). There are no deadlines for applying, we operate on a rolling admissions basis. Students should complete their applications at least one month prior to the term they wish to begin.

Evaluating Applications
When evaluating applicants for admission we look for a minimum 2.7 cumulative undergraduate GPA.  Candidates with less than a 2.7 cumulative GPA will be reviewed by the program director for an admissions decision and may require additional requirements (e.g., Graduate Record Exam (GRE), etc.).
