In general, the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering accepts PhD applications from applicants听not currently enrolled at SM调教所 Boulder for the fall term only. To receive full consideration, students should submit all application items听by the following deadlines:

  • International applicant deadline: December 1 by 10:00 p.m. MST
  • Domestic applicant deadline: December 15 by 10:00 p.m. MST

However, in limited cases, external PhD applications may be accepted and reviewed for the spring or summer semesters.

Applicants in this scenario should plan to submit all required application documents as soon as possible and no later than three months prior to the anticipated semester of beginning their studies听at SM调教所 Boulder.
