The College of Humanities and Sciences welcomes applications to our more than 100 minors, certificates, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral academic programs. Additional information about applying to the university is available from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the Graduate School.
Undergraduate applicants
Applicants to undergraduate programs on the Monroe Park Campus should apply online or use the university’s paper application by the specified deadline for your semester of entry. Read carefully all instructions and be sure you understand the requirements for the program into which you are applying. For more information about the application process, visit the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Graduate applicants
Students applying for graduate programs should review the requirements outlined on the Graduate Bulletin for specific deadlines and supporting materials for each program, as well as the curriculum, specialization, track and degree information need for the application. While late applications may be accepted on a provisional basis, if you do not apply at least one month prior to the start of the semester, you risk losing your eligibility for financial aid.
To apply for graduate programs, you must submit the online application. VCU’s self-managed graduate application process also requires you to collect and return all supporting materials in one packet. Completed applications, as well as supporting materials, and fees must be submitted directly to the Graduate School and will not be considered until all required documentation has been received.
Supplemental application materials (when applicable) such as reference letters, resumes, personal statements/essays or other program specific documentation must be sent directly to the program for which you are applying. Note: Some programs require all documents to be sent to the Graduate School.
A separate application, fee and complete set of official documentation must be submitted for each graduate program application. Unofficial credentials will not be accepted, even when submitting multiple applications.
For more information about the application process, visit the Graduate School. If you have any questions or need assistance, contact the admissions staff.
