While applicants may be considered for admission to most School of Education programs on a rolling admissions basis, some programs establish deadline dates for application for admission. For information about these deadlines, consult the School of Education graduate application page, or contact Graduate Admissions, 617-353-4237.

Many School of Education graduate courses are open to students who wish to study on a nondegree basis. Nondegree students may register during regular registration periods for some graduate-level courses offered by the School of Education. For registration information, please contact the School’s Student Records office at 617-353-4235. Nondegree students who intend to later pursue a degree or CAGS should apply for admission prior to completing eight graduate credits at Boston University.
