Missouri State University operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, but priority deadlines ensure full consideration. Fall semester applications should be submitted by March 1 for priority review, with final deadlines extending to July 15. Spring semester priority deadline is November 1, while the final cutoff is December 15. Summer term deadlines vary by program but generally fall by April 1.
Graduate programs may have different deadlines, often earlier than undergraduate dates. International students should apply at least three months prior to allow for visa processing. Always verify specific program deadlines on the university’s official website, as some departments enforce stricter timelines.
