Graduate Application Information

We are pleased to learn of your interest in the graduate program of the Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Penn State University.

If you have not yet read the frequently asked questions (FAQ) page, we recommend doing so before proceeding.

Completion of the graduate application process does not guarantee admission to the department's graduate program.

Financial aid in the form of assistantships and fellowships is available. Priority is given to students with the strongest academic/research credentials. Students who are offered admission without financial aid should make arrangements for sufficient funds to pay for their studies through completion.

The application deadlines are as follows:

Type of application	Deadline for Fall Admission	Deadline for Spring Admission
International	February 15	September 1
International seeking financial aid	January 31	September 1
U.S.	March 15	November 15
U.S. seeking financial aid	January 31	September 1

Your completed application package, including letters of recommendation and GRE/TOEFL test scores, must reach our department by these dates.

Please note that the international application deadlines are earlier because of the time required to process the documents for passports and visas.
