Master’s International Application Deadlines

Note: Some Fall 2020 deadlines have been extended. Please click here to view affected programs and deadlines.

Applicants for admission as master’s degree-seeking or special graduate students may apply for admission through the UTSA Online Graduate Application. To facilitate your successful transition into your graduate program, we highly recommend you submit your application as soon as possible within your admissions cycle.

Master application deadlines are specific to your applicant type, domestic vs. international. The deadlines will also vary by college or program. Please consult the list below for your college and/or program of interest.

It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure completion and submission of the application, a non-refundable application fee, and all required supporting documents are on file with the Graduate School by the appropriate application deadline. To expedite admissions processing, applicants can use unofficial supporting documents to submit the application. Electronic documents should be uploaded to the application directly.

All applications are to be submitted by 5:00 PM Central Time Zone (U.S.). When the published deadline falls on a weekend, the application remains open until 5:00 PM Central Time Zone (U.S.) on the following open business day. Deadlines are subject to change.

By meeting the priority application deadline, candidates are considered for possible scholarship and assistant opportunities.
