1. Applications for admission to the Graduate Program shall be made to the Associate Dean, whose office shall maintain all admissions records and shall conduct all correspondence with applicants.

2. The Associate Dean's office shall transmit all applications materials to the Student Committee, which shall consider them and convey to the Associate Dean its decisions concerning action to be taken on the application. The Committee may consult other faculty and students as it deems appropriate. It may also interview applicants, when possible, as it deems appropriate. The Associate Dean's office shall inform applicants of the decisions made by the Student Committee.

3. Admission is to the Graduate Program, not to a M.S. or Ph.D. program. Every student admitted to the program who does not already have a recognized M.S. in vision science or its equivalent must first complete the M.S. degree and may then, if admitted to candidacy, proceed to complete the Ph.D. degree.

In addition to completing the application process for the professional program (Go to Admissions), applicants for the Ph.D. and M.S. degree programs also must meet Graduate Program admission requirements and complete a Graduate Program application.
