International Graduate Application Information
Graduate programs at Â鶹Porn may have specific application deadlines for international applicants. This is done to ensure that there is sufficient time to issue visa paperwork for international students who are offered admission to the university.
Please note that not all Loyola graduate programs are eligible to issue visa documentation which would allow international students to enter the United States (for example, part-time or online graduate degree programs). International students are still welcome to participate in these programs from their home country, but visas cannot be issued for these programs.
International students seeking visas for full-time, in-person graduate programs are admitted to the Fall semester only (except for School Counseling and Kodaly Music Education which admit for the Summer semester).
For more information about application deadlines, visit the Graduate Programs at Loyola webpage, click on your program of interest, and go to the “Â鶹Porn” section of their page.
