*Deadline for consideration for University and College internal competitive awards. Final deadline is May 1 for Fall admission. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit applications prior to December 1. Please note that the application must be complete (including receipt of any third-party documents) by the deadlines stated.

**MS applications will be considered for Fall or Summer entry only. For all applicants, our primary admission window is for Fall entry. To be considered for Spring or Summer entry applicants are required to receive an endorsement from a medical physics faculty member prior to applying. It is the applicant’s responsibility to contact faculty of interest. The endorsement of the faculty member is only an approval to submit an application for a non-fall entry and does not guarantee admission.

• Current master’s students wishing to move to a doctoral degree program in this same graduate program will not be required to submit a new application.
