Application Deadlines

Applicants are accepted in all semesters. Complete applications are reviewed twice per year.

International Applicants:

The Curriculum & Instruction programs gladly welcome international applicants. We recognize that the process and paperwork involved in coming to study at the University of Wyoming from outside of the United States requires additional time. Applications for the PhD in Curriculum Studies are only reviewed two times per year: immediately after October 1 and immediately after March 1. If you require an earlier decision, please apply for the deadline a year prior to ensure your application can be reviewed in time for planning international study.
