Applying for Admission

More information about the application process, including instructions for submitting and application online and additional required materials can be found here.

How We Decide

Decisions on admission are made by the faculty of the department in which the applicant proposes to do graduate study. Decisions are based on the promise shown by the applicant's college or university grades, GRE scores*, personal and intellectual qualities attested in letters of recommendation, compatibility with program goals and resources as indicated in the personal statement, and other factors including the size of the current enrollments.

* The GRE exam requirement for 2020-2021 is waived. Submitting GRE scores is optional. 

Applicants will be recommended by the faculty for financial support, comprised of a tuition waiver, stipend, and health insurance. These recommendations are reviewed by the Dean and the Committee on Graduate Awards. When the number of approved recommendations exceeds the amount of support available, some students will be wait-listed. Wait-listed students will be offered admission without support, or with limited support. They will be informed as soon as possible if funding becomes available.
