Prospective PAES Graduate Students

Apply to PAES

What kind of applicant are you? There are several ways to apply to graduate programs or to take graduate courses in PAES. Please read the instructions carefully and select the application option which best fits your situation.

• Option One: Apply as a New Ohio State Graduate Student
  Select this link only if you have never applied and enrolled in an Ohio State graduate program. The deadline to apply is December 1st.
• Option Two: Apply as an Intra-University Transfer Student
  Select this link if you desire to transfer from:
  1) One PAES graduate program to another PAES graduate program.
  2) Another Ohio State graduate program to a PAES graduate Program.
  The deadline to apply as an Intra-University Transfer Student is December 1st.
• Option Three: Apply for Graduate Non-Degree
  Sometimes students need to take courses prior to or without ever enrolling in a graduate program. To do so students must apply for Graduate Non-Degree status. Please note that if you plan to apply to a graduate program later, only ten credit hours can be used towards that degree. If you plan to take graduate non-degree coursework prior to applying or enrolling in a graduate program it is important to check the program requirements first to ensure graduate non-degree credit will be accepted. All PAES graduate programs except Counselor Education will accept graduate non-degree coursework.
