Application Deadlines

Residential Ph.D. & Ed.D.

There are two application deadlines in the residential program: for the fall semester it is April 30 and for the spring semester it is November 30.

Minimum Residential Ph.D. & Ed.D.

There is only one application deadline for modular programs and it is November 15 of the academic year in which a new cohort begins. A cohort of doctoral students will enter their respective doctoral programs every year in the month of June, although coursework begins the previous March. Contact the Graduate Admissions office for more information on the schedule.

Since enrollment for both degree programs is limited and admission is on a selective basis, applications should be made as early as possible. The Doctoral Program committee will process completed applications on a monthly basis. Applications submitted after the deadline will usually be considered for the following semester (residential program) or the next cohort (modular program).

Financial scholarship and dissertation fellowship applications are available in the Doctoral Program office (application deadline: April 1). Full-time, residential doctoral students are given priority for awards. Private sources of scholarships may be located on the website: www.finaid.org.
