Application information

Entry requirements

Applications are generally considered for entrance in the Fall semester. Courses are sequenced to deliver a cohesive educational experience and students are expected to follow the established course sequence for their program. Students entering the program in Spring or Summer may not be eligible to enter the course sequence at that time but may take electives or other required courses. This will necessarily extend the duration of the degree program. Applications are reviewed by a committee of various faculty ranks and staff who evaluate potential applicants and submit recommendations to the Program Director. The committee reviews student transcripts and portfolios for the purposes of standard or advanced placement. Committee members must submit a survey with comments and notes on each student application for program record keeping. Architecture and professional courses completed in a non-professional bachelor’s program will be evaluated by selected teaching faculty to identify courses that may be waived (max. of 6 credits).

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.

Most on-campus graduate programmes apply through the Graduate School online application; the application fee is $85 for Architecture, Arts and Sciences, Communication, Education and Human Development, Engineering, Miller School of Medicine and Rosenstiel School programmes, and $100 for Miami Herbert Business School and Frost School of Music programmes. Nursing applies through NursingCAS; Law, MD, Physical Therapy and Public Health Sciences use their own application portals.
