Application Deadline: Thursday, April 1*

Admission to this program will be on a first-come first serve basis for qualified applicants. Because of limited space, we strongly advise that students who are considering the Pre-Graduate Summer Program submit their applications to the Office of Graduate Admission prior to the deadline.

Office of Graduate Admission

Applicants whose graduate application materials are incomplete (missing transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.) will not be considered for the program.
* A completed application is due

Admittance Notification from Suffolk: Friday, April 23

Students will be informed of their admittance. The earlier your application is submitted, the sooner you will be notified. Students enrolled in the Pre-Graduate Summer Program will maintain a non-matriculated student status during the course of the program, but will be conditionally admitted into the Master of Arts in Interior Design for the fall 2010. Those who successfully complete the program (by earning a B or better average in all courses) will be fully admitted into the Master of Arts in Interior Design Program for the fall 2010 semester.

Deadline for Program Acceptance from Student: Friday, May 14

Students who are admitted into the program must accept or decline admission no later than Friday, May 14.
