APPLY TO GRADUATE SCHOOL
Graduate students are admitted through a cooperative effort between the Graduate School and the University's colleges, schools, and departments. Application is made to The Graduate School online and, admission is granted by The Graduate School on the recommendation of colleges, schools, and departments.

A faculty member who serves as the graduate director in each academic department coordinates admissions decisions. Graduate assistantships, including tuition reduction, and fellowships are available, and are normally administered by individual graduate directors. Application requirements and deadlines for applying vary; please check the appropriate college, school, or department Web site, and the Graduate Bulletin for more specific information.
