Application Process and Deadlines

The JBS admissions committee strives to accept students who will be the best-possible match for the program. Students must be in good academic standing and meet the necessary prerequisites outlined by the specific JBS program. Many of the JBS programs do not have any prerequisites.

Students will be evaluated on the quality of their application and should demonstrate their motivation and commitment. All students who meet the program criteria are encouraged to apply!

If you have any questions about the application at any point, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Study Abroad.

Summer and Fall 2013 Application Deadlines

March 15, 2013!

Applications must be submitted on-line by NOON on the stated deadline.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling admissions basis until the closing deadline.

Students are encouraged to apply well before the admissions deadline. Qualified applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis so applying early is to everyone's advantage. Provided spaces are still available, applications will be reviewed up until the deadline. The JBS website will contain information in the event that a particular JBS program reaches student capacity before the admissions deadline.
