Winter applicants

Some programs at the university offer the ability to start in January.

It is important to note that a January start will generally cause students to be off track with most program maps and may require an additional semester(s) of study. Additionally, depending on program selection, some first-semester courses may not be available in the winter semester, which means students may not have a full course load.
