The Graduate Admission Committee relies on a variety of factors to determine a candidate’s potential for success in graduate school. Entry-level, mid-career, and career-change applicants are regarded as viable candidates.
The Graduate Admission Committee evaluates each application as it becomes complete and makes an effort to notify candidates of their admission decision within four weeks (except for Ph.D. decisions).
Admitted students, wishing to enroll in a graduate program at the College of Arts and Sciences, remit a $200 ($400 for Ph.D.s) non-refundable deposit, to reserve a place in the entering class. The non-refundable deposit is credited to the tuition bill at the time of registration.
