The Graduate School requires that applications for admission to the MPA program must be submitted to the Graduate School no later than July 15 for admission to the fall semester, December 10 for the spring semester, and June 1 for the summer session.
However, since the MPA program can admit only a limited number of full-time students, applicants for full-time status are advised to apply by February 1 for the fall term or the summer session and by September 1 for the spring term.
Applicants for full-time admission for the fall term are encouraged to participate in our internship placement event in May and often have the opportunity to start their paid internship several months preceding their admission to graduate study. Such students are urged to apply for admission to the program by February 1.
