Admission to the Graduate Program

SDSU has chosen to make February 1st the required deadline for graduate applications. That means that all students must have completed the CSU mentor application, departmental application, have the transcripts submitted, and completed the GRE by this date to be considered for fall admissions. We will no longer have the flexibility of admitting students at a later date.

(The next deadline to register for the GRE is December 12 for a Feb 6th test date. For more information, please check the offical GRE website.)
