Application Deadlines

To enroll in the fall: you must apply by January 15

To enroll in the spring: you must apply by September 30

The application deadline for Fall enrollment is January 15th and the application deadline for Spring enrollment is September 30th. However, we are willing to consider applications at any time. Initial financial support decisions are made in March, so late applications may be at a disadvantage. If you wish to apply but cannot make the deadline, please be sure to contact Maxine Leffard, the Graduate Admissions Coordinator at ce-admissions@cmu.edu.
