Undergraduate Admission
Penn State's rolling application opens each year on August 1. It is highly recommended that you complete your application by the priority deadline of November 30 as admission becomes more competitive after this date. Applying by this priority deadline gives you the best chance of admission to your first-choice campus and program.
Graduate Admission
We offer both Master of Science and Doctoral degree programs. Applications for graduate admission are available June 15. The final deadline for graduate applications, including test scores, recommendation letters and supplemental application materials, is December 15 for Ph.D. applicants and March 1 for M.S. applicants. Review the Graduate Degree Bulletin and J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Graduate School admissions process before applying.
