The DSE program has rolling enrollments. International students are usually accepted up to two month before the start of the first semester. U.S. based students are accepted up to 2 weeks before the start of the semester. We recommend to start in the Fall semester since the course sequence builds with the Fall semester and the foundation courses are currently offered once per school year.
A common question of prospective students is about available funding and graduate assistantships.
Financial support is highly competitive and prioritized for students in thesis programs. Limited partial scholarships are available for highly qualified students (First Class honors or Second Class honors- upper division) in nonthesis master’s degree programs.
It is recommended to find a thesis advisor and a potential graduate assistantship for thesis-MS before applying for the DSE program.
The Graduate School has this page on their website which, at the bottom, has a list of positions that were sent by various departments.
Additionally, the university has a CareerLink resource which allows you to browse various job listings, including assistantships.
