For graduate programs, deadlines vary by department. Most fall intake deadlines range from January to March, while spring deadlines often fall between October and November. Some programs may accept summer enrollment with deadlines in April.
Prospective students should verify specific deadlines for their intended program on the university’s official website, as dates may shift annually.
