Application Deadlines

The CTVA Department admits graduate students annually in the fall semester. Applications are accepted from November 1 to February 11 for the following fall semester entering graduate class. We no longer offer spring admissions. This deadline is intended to ensure the university has time to process application materials, and students have time to pursue financial aid and register for classes. Special late application circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.
