Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

How do I apply to the INTAD program?

The INTAD program is a dual-title degree program. Students must first enroll in a primary participating degree program. Once the student has begun the primary degree program, they may go through the application process to apply to join INTAD.

What is the deadline for application?

INTAD accepts applications at any time. Students are advised to enroll early in order to ensure that all requirements are met in a timely fashion. Doctoral students should enroll in a dual-title graduate degree program early in their training, and no later than the end of the fourth semester (not counting summer semesters) of entry into the graduate major program.

Who is eligible to apply to the INTAD program?

Students enrolled in M.S. or Ph.D. programs in the participating graduate programs may enroll.

Do I have to be formally admitted to the program before I can take required courses?
