Start Terms and Cohort Requirements
Graduate programs offer two start terms each year: Fall and Spring. Our graduate programs follow a cohort model, allowing students to progress through their program alongside a community of peers.
A minimum of 10 students is required to begin a new cohort each semester. If a cohort does not meet the minimum enrollment requirement, the cohort start will be deferred to the following semester.
Accepted students affected by a cohort deferment do not need to reapply. Your application and acceptance will remain on file, and you will be automatically eligible to register for the next available start term.
We are committed to keeping students informed about cohort enrollment and supporting a smooth transition to the next available start date.
