Overview

The Application Requirements, as described below, are meant to provide information about an applicant’s interests, goals, previous experiences, and strengths. Each requirement will be reviewed as part of the complete application package by SUCCEED faculty.
Deadlines: The priority application deadline is January 15th of the same year for Fall semester admission. The Graduate Program Committee will continue to review and consider applications after this deadline.
Please note, for international students, additional time is required to process visa applications. Therefore, although the committee will review applications after January 15th, the committee cannot guarantee an international student, if admitted, will be able to enroll the following fall semester due to the necessary visa processing time.
The Graduate Program Committee will also consider applications for spring enrollment. Please reach out to either the Graduate Program Director and/or the Senior Program Coordinator if you are interested in spring enrollment. Deadlines will be posted on the SUCCEED website as appropriate.
