Admissions - Graduate Admissions Information

Letter from the Dean	Greetings from Dr. Claudia Mitchell-Kernan
When to Apply	Most departments and schools have deadlines in November and early December for the following Fall term (nearly a year in advance). Be sure to consult Departmental Information for the specific deadline for your proposed major. Applications to some programs may be considered if received after a program's stated deadline, provided that the enrollment limitations have not been exceeded. Fellowships and other financial support depend on availability of funds.
How to Apply	The UCLA application for graduate admission should be used to apply for all programs with the exception of Medicine, Law, Dentistry, and the Anderson Graduate School of Management, which have separate admission application processes. University regulations do not permit an applicant to apply to more than one major, with the exception of already-established concurrent or articulated degrees. Please decide which of our programs is most appropriate for you prior to submitting an application. Only one application can be considered.
Types of Applications	Includes important definitions of new, renewal, and readmission applications.
