Important Note About Application Deadlines
Programs may decide to accept applications after a listed deadline has passed. If applications remain open, the searchable table below will show “Open” until there is a new closing date finalized.
While we use the same standards to evaluate applications regardless of the date you apply, the number of places available may become more limited as decisions are made. Programs may provide minimal advanced notice of closing for application, so we encourage you to apply as soon as you know what program you wish to be considered for and who you will designate as your referees.
Helpful Tips
- Visit our Graduate Funding webpage for more information about our funding packages for full-time PhD programs and non-professional MA programs.
- Be sure to research and apply to external sources of funding, as many external awards and fellowships have early application dates. You do not need to have been accepted already to apply for sources of funding.
- Review information about tuition, fees, and financing your graduate studies
- Non-funded programs are not included in the graduate funding package. Some financial assistance may be available through scholarships, awards, bursaries and government student loans.
