Application information

Entry requirements

The Ph.D. program accepts applications for fall semester entry only. In the fall, admitted students will begin a 4-course sequenced core curriculum with their cohort. Application Deadline Priority application deadline for Fall entry: November 6. Applicants who submit their materials by this deadline will receive priority consideration for graduate assistantships and other forms of funding. Submission by the priority deadline enables us to inform the most qualified applicants of our decision to accept them into the program by January thereby allowing newly admitted PhD students more time to plan for moving to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This extra time is often needed for international students seeking student visas. Regular application deadline for Fall entry: January 8. Regardless of which application deadline you choose, all applicants will receive an admission decision with funding offers, if applicable, before or by March 5. Music Education students should contact the Music Education Grad

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Entry terms: Fall, Spring and Summer (the admissions page lists Spring, and Summer/Fall priority deadlines).
