Application Process

Your application will be carefully studied. If considered to be potentially acceptable, your application will be put in a group to be interviewed and ranked by the end of March. At that time we will offer a limited number of acceptances to the highest-ranking applicants. A limited number of applicants will be placed on a wait list for each program. When there are no further chances of acceptance, all applicants will be notified.

Application Deadline

Since enrollment is limited and admission is on a selective basis, applications should be made as early as possible. Applications must be received in the Office of Graduate Admission by January 15. Decisions are made only on completed applications. Rosemead currently admits new students for the degree programs only in the fall semester each year. Applications received after the January 15 deadline will rarely be considered for the following fall semester.
