Application deadlines refer to the date by which all required materials—including all transcripts, letters of recommendation and test scores—have been received by the Linguistics Department, or, in the case of international applicants, by the Office of Admissions. For those mailing applications, send them early enough to allow for possible postal delays. Applications completed after the above dates will be considered only if space is available.

Domestic applicants include US citizens and permanent residents. Domestic applicants who are mailing their applications should send them directly to the Department at the following address:
