The Clemson University Graduate School oversees the admissions process for all graduate programs at Clemson University. Criteria used in making decisions will vary according to the college and program you’re applying for, but all decisions include an evaluation of your potential for graduate-level work and the ability of a program to accommodate additional students.
Typically, each academic department accepting graduate students will form an admissions committee and review all requests, then forward the committee’s recommendations to the Graduate School for final approval and processing.
The Clemson University Graduate School application process is completed entirely online. We’ll be glad to assist you with the online application and admissions process, and we are always glad to answer questions. You can also check the status of your pending application online.
While there’s no universal application deadline, please be aware that programs may set their own application deadlines, and there are some programs that accept applicants only once a year. In addition, international students often have earlier deadlines in order to allow enough time to secure a visa.
While Clemson allows you to apply to more than one program, all applications at Clemson are customized to meet the needs of each specific program and are not interchangeable between programs. After you’ve submitted the first application and paid the application fee, you must return to the online application and, using your same UserID and password, complete a separate application for the additional program you’d like to apply to. Once you submit the second application, you will be prompted to pay another application fee.
