Frequently Asked Questions

  • Did you receive my materials?
  • Once we have processed your application materials, we will email you a courtesy notice to let you know if any items have not been received.  This will typically take about 1 week.  You can also check online (in the application system) to see if your letters of recommendation have been received.
  • When I preview the application, it seems like I didn't fill in some of the information, but I wasn't asked.  What should I do?
  • Our graduate program opted out of asking some questions because we felt they were redundant. You will not be able to fill in the following sections: GRE Scores; Prior Experience; Prerequisite Course History; Future Interests or Goals; Resume/CV (upload).
  • What is the cost of attending the program?
  • Graduate school tuition and fees are listed on the UC Davis Graduate studies website: https://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/tuition-and-fees.
  • What kind of funding is available?
  • Students admitted to the M.A. program are not offered funding packages, but are eligible to apply for Financial Aid and any open graduate student employment for which they are qualified.
  • How do I apply for Spring admission? 
  • Applications for admission are accepted for fall quarter only.
  • I made a mistake in my online application.  Can I send you a corrected version? 
  • Unfortunately we are not able to alter your application once you have submitted it. Please take care to proofread your documents before the final submission.
  • I want to visit the campus. How do I do that?
