 Putting
the pieces together... |
|
| How do I request an application? | You
can either apply on-line or download and print application materials from
the Graduate Admissions web page. The application fee when submitting
materials on-line is $55; the fee for submitting a paper application is
$70. (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| How do I get a Graduate Catalog? | Most
of the information can be found on the Binghamton
University web site. You can find Bulletin materials as well as other
pertinent information for graduate school. (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| How can I get additional information about departments? |
You can visit our programs by going to each department's web site:
|
| Do I have to send all application documents together? | It
is best to send your completed packet together, but when submitting an
electronic application, your materials will need to be sent separately.
Our Graduate Admissions office will put your completed application packet
together and send copies of your materials to our departments. Your file
will not be forwarded to the department until it is complete. (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| What is the deadline to apply for Fall, Spring or Summer? | We
have rolling admissions but suggest sending your complete application
packet by February 1 for Fall admission; by November 1 for Spring admission
and by March 1 for Summer admission. (International applications are due
at least 2 weeks prior to listed deadlines). (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| Do
I need to take the GRE?
|
The
GRE (general test) is required for our programs. In certain circumstances,
the GRE is waived. Individual departments make those decisions. Please
visit the GRE web site for test registration information. (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| Do I need to take the TOEFL? |
If you are an international applicant and your native language is not English and you do not hold a degree from a United States University, you must take the TOEFL. There
are no published minimum scores. Individual departments have their own
guidelines. |
| How will I know if my application file is complete? | The
Graduate Admissions office will contact you and let you know if you are
missing any information for your file. (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| How will I know the status of my application? |
You
may visit the web
site |
| Who will tell me if I have been accepted or denied admission? | You
will receive formal notification from the Graduate School (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| How do I get an I20? | Once
you have been officially admitted to a program our International Student
and Scholar Services (link to http://isss.binghamton.edu) office will
prepare your I20. The I20 cannot be prepared until you have been formally
admitted which means you must certify sufficient funds for your first
year of study. (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| How will I know if I have received funding? | The
Department will inform you in writing if they are able to make an offer
of funding. Funding is extremely competitive and we have many students
(both new and continuing) for a limited number of positions. (Return to "Frequently application process asked questions") |
| What is the tuition per credit? |
Tuition
for New York State residents is $288 per credit hour; for nonresidents
it is $438 per credit hour. |
