The earlier you start to think about the application process, the better. It
takes time to search out the programs that would be most appropriate for your
interests and you may want to apply to more than one. Most programs will require
that you apply at least a year in advance, particularly if you want to be
considered for fellowships or assistantships. You should visit with the Office of Professional School
Advising, your academic advisor and your Career Center advisor early in your junior year
if you are considering continuing on to an advanced degree.
