Application Deadlines
Apply Online
As of January 24, 2023, we are no longer accepting applications for Fall 2023. The MA in Government program at Hillsdale's DC campus will continue to accept Fall 2023 applications through May 15, 2023.
For Spring 2024 (M.A. applicants only), the application deadline will be October 15, 2023, and decisions will be sent out no later than November 15. Spring 2024 application forms will be available online in July 2023.
For Fall 2024 (M.A. or Ph.D.), applications submitted on or before December 15, 2023, are guaranteed full consideration and decisions will be sent out no later than February 1. Applications completed after December 15 may be considered, as circumstances warrant. Fall 2024 application forms will be available online in July 2023.
Applications will not be read by the admissions committee until all materials are received, though applicants may self-report GRE scores so that their applications can be considered unofficially. Offers of admission cannot be made until the arrival of the official score report.
Please contact us if you experience any technical difficulties that delay submitting your application.
