Department Note: Due to the unusually large number of admitted Ph.D.
students last spring who deferred entry into our program until Fall 2021,
we may only be able to offer funding to a limited number of newly admitted
students this year. Applicants should also be aware that we are an affirmative
action department and that we are especially interested in recruiting strong
African-American, Hispanic-American and Native American students to our
Ph.D. program.  As always, we will consider applications from students
who have already secured an outside source of funding.
   
Application Deadlines: December 15, 2020 (Fall 2021 domestic/international)

identifications, as well as the difference between assigned
biological sex and gender expression. It encourages
students, faculty, and staff to share and honor
preferred pronouns and names.
