Students will be notified of an admission decision by December 15. Financial aid decisions will be announced by March 1. Admission must be approved by the department in which the master's degree is sought and by the Graduate School. While a student must be enrolled as an active undergraduate student at the time of application, admission to the graduate program can be deferred for up to two years with approval of the department.
The following criteria will be used for the admission decision on Brown undergraduates:
- 5th Year Master’s Application
- Official undergraduate transcript
- 2 letters of reference
- A personal statement
NOTE: Both the application fee and the GRE’s are waived for those seeking admission into the 5th-Year Masters. Students should complete the associated forms and submit them to the Associate Dean of the Graduate School for Academic Affairs.
The two electives of the ten required courses for the master's degree may be completed while the student is an undergraduate, but the eight semester core courses must be taken while in residence.
