Application Material

Applications for graduate study are submitted to the Graduate School—the college of record for all graduate students at Syracuse University. Each department at Maxwell reviews applications individually then conveys its admission recommendations to the Graduate School. Official offers of admission come from the dean of the Graduate School. 

Applications and all additional required information need to be sent no later than February 1st for the applicant to be considered for admissions the following academic year.  We strongly advise you to submit your application earlier than this date in case not all material arrives on time.

The Following application material are required to be submitted:

Graduate School Application

Filling out an online application  is the preferred method for applying because it  can be processed faster and more efficiently than those filed on paper. Complete an online application here.

Internal Application

Applicants who are already graduate students at Syracuse University need to  complete an internal application instead of the online application.  Contact Heather Binion in the PA Office for more information.

This will be completed online as part of the application process.

Transcripts

Transcripts for any undergraduate or graduate college the applicant attended should be submitted to the Graduate School. 

3 Letters of Recommendation

As part of the online application process, you will provide email addresses for the individuals writing a letter of recommendation.  Recommenders will be contacted by email explaining how to submit an online letter of recommendation.
