How do I apply to the Graduate School?

By far the easiest way to apply to graduate school is to fill out an online application. Your information will be saved as you go. While we offer and prefer you to use our Online Application form, we also have a "paper and pencil" Application Booklet available.

Note: Decisions on admission to all graduate degree programs are made by the specific graduate program.
