Applicants to the Swanson School of Engineering should contact their Department directly with questions surrounding deadlines
Depending on your selected program, the deadlines differ by department and term. Applications to the Swanson School of Engineering are accepted on a modified rolling basis for many departments. Each department has varying funding deadlines and are especially
important for international students seeking visas, as the university requires an ample amount of time to process your application for fall, spring, and summer terms.
Applications are reviewed only once they include all application materials. Application components which are frequently overlooked include: application fee, complete transcripts, and letters of recommendation.
Please see the department links below for more information concerning your department and for the most up to date financial aid and term deadlines.
***UPDATE JULY 2020: In light of current events, we are allowing more flexibility with our fall and spring deadlines for MS applicants. PhD applicants should contact their department of interest for more guidance. The August 1 Fall Term deadline listed below applies to domestic students. The deadline for domestic-based students (students from or currently residing in the United States) is much more flexible and you can still apply for an MS program for Fall 2020 start if admitted. However, interested applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. For more information on this year’s deadlines please contact Stephanie Opalinski at stephanie.opalinski@pitt.edu.

on a rolling basis but we encourage all students seeking funding/financial aid to submit their applications following the 'financial aid' deadlines. Admission to the graduate program does not imply the granting of financial aid. This is done separately,
