Applications are reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

February-April

Once the Admissions Committee has evaluated applications, the Department will extend an invitation to admitted students studying within the US to visit the University of Arizona (at our expense). Groups of 20-40 students visit the department on one of two weekends. For students with schedule incompatibilities, individual visits can be arranged.

The site visit weekends for 2013 are:

March 1 - March 3, 2013
March 22 - March 24, 2013

While at UA, you will meet faculty, students and staff, view our state-of-the-art facilities, gain first-hand insight into our state-of-the-art research programs, and explore beautiful southern Arizona.

March-May

If you are accepted into the graduate program, a formal letter of admission, including details of financial support, will be sent to you. You have until April 15 of the current year to accept this offer of admission. This appointment also includes a waiver of out-of-state tuition (approximately $13,272 per semester). Health insurance is provided by the Graduate College.

Early August

New graduate students arrive at The University of Arizona for orientation and the start of graduate studies.
