Admissions
Statement on Rolling Admission
Applications are accepted year-round. However, it is in the applicant’s best interest to complete their application (i.e. submit online application and all required materials) on or before the priority application deadline date of the program(s) they are applying to. Any applications or materials submitted after the priority application deadline date may a) not receive full consideration for admission and/or b) have their admission deferred to a subsequent term for enrollment.
Priority Application Dates
The MCW Graduate School operates on a rolling admissions basis, which means we are constantly accepting and reviewing applications throughout the year. However, it is in the applicant’s best interest to complete their application (i.e. online application submitted and all required materials received) on or before the priority application date of the program(s) they are applying to, which will ensure that there is sufficient time for the program to review candidacy for the term that the applicant is applying for.
