Deadlines

The MSA program’s admission cycle has three deadlines. Qualified students will be invited to interview with the director of graduate admissions and other members of the MSA program staff. Students are encouraged to apply when their application is strongest. Only completed applications with all required documents will be considered for interviews.

For a student to be considered for merit-based aid and graduate assistantships, the application must be submitted by the Round 2, February 1 deadline. After Round 3, all applicants are reviewed on a rolling admissions basis based on space availability.
