Application

The student will first submit a Boise State University Graduate Admission Application and application fee. The priority application deadline is January 15th for fall admission — this means applications are due at least 3 semesters before a student plans to graduate with a bachelor’s degree.

When submitting a graduate admission application, students should select the “accelerated master’s degree program” option.

 Application Review

  1. Initial Review: Graduate College staff review the graduate admission applications and prepare information for a Program Admission Recommendation (PAR) review by the program.
  2. Program Review and Recommendation: Designated program faculty and staff carefully review the application materials, following a process developed by the program. An emphasis of this review is to assess the student’s readiness to pursue a master’s degree on an accelerated schedule. At the completion of the review the Graduate Program Coordinator enters an admission recommendation on the PAR form.
  3. Final Review: The Associate Graduate Dean reviews the application, enters the final decision and notifies the applicant and the program.
