Undergraduate Admissions

Application Deadlines

We admit new majors to our undergraduate programs in fall semester only, although students admitted for fall have the option of starting coursework in summer. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. EST on the first business day in February. If February 1 falls on a weekend, the first business day is the following Monday.

The application window for the next admission cycle is from Dec. 16, 2009, through Feb. 1, 2010. Students are strongly encouraged to submit their applications in December or January and not wait until the deadline.

Application Requirements

Students must be on track to have completed 43 hours of coursework by the end of the spring semester in which they apply to qualify for consideration. Additional application criteria for each major at the time of application, as well as requirements that must be met by the end of the semester in which application is made, can be viewed on the undergraduate application.
