Admissions Review Period Dates

Admission is on a rolling basis and is divided into the Admissions Review Periods outlined below.

To be reviewed for a particular period, all application materials must be postmarked by the indicated date and should be submitted together in a single envelope.

Preference is given to complete applications that meet the postmark dates; however, we will accept applications as long as space is available, but no later than April 1 for pre-fall, July 15 for fall, and November 15 for spring terms.

All students who meet the postmark date for the review period will have the same chance of earning acceptance to their respective program regardless of whether the application was received at the beginning or the end of the review period.

You need not complete all prerequisites before you apply, but the majority of your science prerequisite coursework should be completed before an admissions decision can be made. All prerequisites must be completed before you enter the program. You may also earn credits through standardized tests, including CLEP. Admission is competitive, as there are a limited number of seats in each class.
