Our department and the university's Graduate School no longer produce or mail paper application materials. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The costs of maintaining and mailing the paper version could no longer be absorbed by the budget available, and the online process allows much more efficient processing of applications. An effort has been made to keep the online process simple and avoid graphics so that many different computer systems can be accommodated.
