In preparation for the 2027 application cycle, please submit the Annual Departmental Admissions Information Form no later than May 15, 2026.

Program-specific details (e.g. separate email address for PhD and MA applicants) may be entered into the optional fields. You may also select multiple degree objectives/majors on a single form if those programs share the same requirements, deadlines, and other details.
