Application Decision Timeframes
Applicants to Online Programs who have met the Admissions Criteria and submitted a complete application, including all of the required supporting documents and the application fee, will be reviewed on a rolling basis. This means admissions decisions are issued as an individual review is completed.
A tuition deposit is not required to hold a seat upon acceptance into an Online Program.
Regarding Student Visa Support
International students are welcome to apply to become students within JHU AAP’s Online Programs. However, should a student’s visa requirement circumstances change away from learning online, that student will need to reapply for admission into the On-Campus Programs.
