Deadlines for each program are listed on the GSE web site, http://www.gse.rutgers.edu, within the academic program description section. The deadline for consideration for assistantships, fellowships, and other forms of financial aid is March 1. International students who apply from abroad also must submit application materials by November 1 for a spring term admission, and by February 1 for a fall term admission. Programs may, at their discretion, close admission prior to stated deadlines or extend deadline dates if sufficient time exists to render decisions. Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
