Admissions
We're delighted that you want to be a member of our international community. Apply to our academic programs. We will support you through every step of the admissions process. If you have questions, please contact our enrollment managers.
Why are there multiple application deadlines?
The scholarship committee reviews applications for fall admission three times: December 1 (for the first batch of admitted applicants), February 1 (for the second batch), and March 15 (for the final review). There is only one deadline for spring admission: October 1.
If you aren't concerned about receiving a merit scholarship, please submit your application anytime.
We are a community of scholars, practitioners, innovators, teachers, collaborators, and change agents. Our students explore issues of international policy and business, cross-cultural communication, and language education. If this sparks your interest, you've come to the right place.
Please use this gateway to weigh your options and make the decision to apply for our programs. Learn about our admissions requirements, the application process, and financial aid. If you're ready to apply, we've prepared application instructions and an application checklist to guide you.
Application Deadlines
Since we accept applications on a rolling basis, you can apply to our programs at any time. However, we offer a limited number of merit scholarships to students who demonstrate academic and professional excellence. Please submit your completed applications by the priority deadlines to be considered for scholarship funds:
|
Fall Semester |
December 1 | February 1 | March 15 |
| Spring Semester | October 1 |
U.S. students must submit completed application materials at least one month before the September or January semester start dates. International students should submit their materials at least three months in advance.
Please keep in mind that most of our programs have September and January start dates, while our translation and interpretation programs only begin in September. Please submit your application materials by May 1 to ensure enrollment in the translation and interpretation programs.
