Application Deadlines

Applications are evaluated after ALL required documents have been received. Please send your application as early as possible to ensure receipt of a timely written admission decision. Applications received after the deadline dates listed below will be reviewed as faculty reviewers are available and on a space-available basis.

A note about our "deadline" dates:

The School of Education faculty review applications on a rolling basis, so some programs DO FILL prior to the posted "deadline." Applications are reviewed in the order they are received, and an interview may be required. A decision is typically made within 4 to 8 weeks of receipt of all application materials.

As such, the "deadline" is merely the last date USF can guarantee a speedy faculty review of an application for a particular program. To ensure your application is reviewed for admission in the semester desired, you are strongly encouraged to apply prior to the "deadline."
