Competition

We typically receive between 250 and 300 applications in an admission cycle. We invite 30-40 applicants to interview with us in February. Interviews are held virtually. The first admission offers are typically extended in late February or early March.

Funding

In recent years, the department has been able to fund all five members of the incoming class. This funding includes tuition remission and a stipend, renewable for four years, contingent upon maintaining good academic standing.
