If your bachelor’s degree was completed at a college or university outside of the United States, a third-party course-by-course academic evaluation is required. See the Academic Catalog for more information for international students.
Interview
An interview may be required for some applicants. You will be notified by the Office of Graduate Admissions or by the Academic Director of the program if an interview is required.
Deadlines
MUIH accepts and reviews applications on a rolling admissions basis throughout the academic year. In most cases, applications are reviewed as they are received, on a space-available basis. We recommend that you apply two-to-four months before your intended start date.
There are priority application deadlines for the master’s and doctoral degree programs. Students applying after the priority deadline are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible, as space may be limited:
| Start Date | Priority Deadline | Late Deadline | Enrollment Deadline | Classes Begin |
| Summer 2019 | March 1 | April 22 | April 25 | April 28 |
| Fall 2019 | July 1 | August 26 | August 29 | September 1 |
* Applicants who apply by April 1 will be given priority in the admissions review process.
**Applicants who apply after April 1 and by August 1 will be reviewed and accepted on a space-available basis.
Late Application Submissions
Applications will still be accepted and reviewed after the priority application deadline has passed. There will be an increased application fee for applications submitted after the priority application deadline. If the intended start date of the application is no longer available, due to the class being filled, the applicant will be notified by the Office of Graduate Admissions, and their application may be considered for the next available start date.
There are no priority application deadlines for academic certificate programs.
Review & Decision Process
Once the Office of Graduate Admissions has received all required application materials, an application is considered complete and the review process begins. Applications are reviewed by faculty and by the admissions committee. This process typically will take four to six weeks, at which time an electronic letter of decision will be sent. Late applicants may be given this information over the phone or via email when required.
Deferrals
Offers of acceptance may be deferred one time for up to one year. Requests for deferral must be made in writing to the Office of Graduate Admissions. Students who request a deferral will be required to pay the tuition deposit in order to hold their space in the program. If a student with a deferred acceptance does not enroll within one year, that fee is forfeited.
Transfer of Credit and Exemption Review Request Process
If you have previously completed course work that is applicable to the degree you are applying to at MUIH, please complete the appropriate forms and submit along with your application to the Office of Graduate Admissions. If you do not complete this process during your application review, you may submit these forms for review at a later date to the Office of the Registrar.
MUIH’s Transfer and Exemption Policy is published in Section 2 of the Academic Catalog.
