The MSDS Online program offers two cohort options: Spring (January start) and Fall (August start). Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, meaning that your application will be reviewed and you will receive an admission decision within 2-3 weeks of submission.
We are currently accepting applications for the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 terms:
| Application Term | Final Rolling Application Due Date | Term Start Date |
|---|---|---|
| Fall 2026 | June 15, 2026 (11:59 p.m. ET) | Aug. 25, 2026 |
| Spring 2027 | Nov. 1, 2026 (11:59 p.m. ET) | Jan. 20, 2027 |
Applicants seeking need-based financial aid and fellowships should submit their FAFSA at the same time they submit their application for admission. The deadline is rolling, and fellowship funding may be offered if available. Refer to the Tuition and Fees page for more information.
