Application deadlines

Deadlines are the same for all IOE master’s applicants regardless of citizenship. Application deadlines for the upcoming two semesters are as follows.

Fall 2025January 15, 2025
Winter 2026October 1, 2026

A review of all applications happens on a rolling basis throughout the year and we admit students for each term: Fall (August), Winter (January), and Spring/Summer (May). Domestic, U.S. permanent resident, and international students wishing to begin on-campus should apply for Fall or Winter.

Students are encouraged to review and consider each deadline carefully to ensure they have adequate time to prepare a complete application: if an application is incomplete by the extended consideration deadline, the applicant must re-apply for a future term and pay that application fee. 

International students are encouraged to apply for the early decision deadline, as it may require extra time to collect the necessary documentation for visa paperwork after admissions.

Applicants will receive an admissions decision within 6-8 weeks of the posted deadline. All application submissions are final and application fees are non-refundable.
