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

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.
- Final Review: The Associate Graduate Dean reviews the application, enters the final decision and notifies the applicant and the program.
