How Do I Apply?
You can begin your application for the graduate degree programs online through the UW Graduate School website. The online application lets you know what materials you need to submit, and allows you to save your information before submitting.
Application Materials
All application materials, including letters of recommendation and application fee, are due by posted deadlines. You may need to remind your letter writers of the deadline. No hard-copy application materials should be mailed to the department!
Required of all applicants:
- Upload Unofficial Transcript(s)
- Upload Statement of Purpose - A Statement of Purpose (SOP), sometimes referred to as a personal statement, tells the admissions committees a little bit about who you are, what your academic and professional interests are, and what you will be able to add to the graduate program. Graduate programs are demanding and a SOP should be used to demonstrate your motivation, work ethic and qualifications to complete the program.

Graduate Non-matriculated Students
Graduate Non-matriculated (GNM) status provides access to graduate courses for those who are not currently seeking a graduate degree, but who may later want to apply these credits (up to 12) toward one of our graduate degree programs. A bachelor’s degree and 3.0 GPA in your last 90 quarter (60 semester) hours are required to apply for GNM status. More information on this status is available through the Graduate School page on GNM applications. GNM status is only available for fall admissions to the online MS program.
