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.
