Questions & Answers
- When should I apply?
Students interested in the research track (PhD or MS thesis) need to apply by December 15, 2026 for an Autumn 2027 start date. For the MS non-thesis track, we encourage students to apply by the priority deadline of December 15th if possible, but applications are accepted until the final application deadline of May 1st for international students or September 1st for all domestic students. Applying earlier gives you more time to complete any missing materials and prepare for enrollment.
- How long does the application review take?
For applicants who submit materials by December 15th, we will respond by April 15th (but often much sooner). Individuals who apply by May 1 will receive a response by June 15th. Applicants who want to apply after May 1st, should contact advising at ceginfo@uw.edu to inquire before submitting an application.
- What makes a strong applicant?
Strong applications clearly explain your goals, demonstrate academic or professional readiness, and show how the program aligns with your career aspirations. A thoughtful personal statement can make a big difference.
- Is there an application fee?
The Graduate School charges an application fee of $90. Unfortunately, our department is unable to waive application fees. The Graduate School offers a limited number of application fee waivers to select groups of students: https://grad.uw.edu/prospective-students/how-to-apply/application-fee-waivers/
