Heinz School Application Deadlines 

The early decision deadline (December 1) is available for students who intend to enroll in the May start date in MSPPM, MAM or MISM programs or prospective (full-time program) students who want to receive their admission decision before mid-January. In addition, international applicants for the August start date are encouraged to apply by December 1 in order to allow ample time for I-20 and visa processing. All applicants completing and submitting their entire application (including all of their supporting materials) prior to December 1 will be considered for admission during the early decision review process. These applicants will receive their admission decision no later than January 15 and will be asked to accept (including payment of the $250 enrollment deposit) or reject the offer of admission no later than January 31.

The regular decision deadline (February 1) applicants to full-time programs will receive their admission decision no later than April 1 and will be asked to respond to the offer of admission (including payment of the $250 enrollment deposit) no later than April 15.

Applicants are responsible for completing and submitting their applications on time and in accordance with the guidelines provided in the application instructions (available via the online application system).  Please let us know if any of the application materials you have submitted includes a variation of the name with which you are applying.  Supporting materials sent via postal mail or express mail must be postmarked no later than the application deadline for your program listed below. 

Applications submitted after the deadline will be considered at the discretion of the Admissions Committee.
