As one of the United States’ most global universities, the University at Buffalo is home to more than 5,000 students from 110 countries. We value international students as members of our community and will provide outstanding support services for you.
To apply for the doctoral program, you will now be required to apply via a SOPHAS application.
Due date for completed and received PhD program applications for international students for fall admission is Dec. 15.
Please take into account that processing times can take up to four weeks when you submit your application. Applications are considered for fall semester admission only; there are no spring semester admissions.
All application materials must be received by the department before the Jan. 15 deadline for admission consideration. If you have submitted your SOPHAS application by the requested deadline, your application is not considered complete until we have received all supplemental materials; this includes three letters of recommendation, transcripts, English language test scores (if applicable), and the $50 UB application fee. If materials are received after Jan. 15, your application is considered "incomplete."
The University at Buffalo is committed to ensuring equal access to its programs and activities. The entire notice of non-discrimination can be viewed at buffalo.edu/equity
