Applying to Princeton's Graduate School
Applicants can apply September through December for the following academic year starting in the fall. There is no spring admission and graduate study at Princeton is offered on a full-time basis. The cost of tuition and the required health plan fee for 2009 - 2010 is $36,610.
The retention rate is the percentage of an entering class that enrolls for a second year and subsequent years of study. Based on the last four years’ experience of full-time degree candidates, we find that 90 percent of an entering class, throughout the whole Graduate School, returns to a second year of study; 75 percent of that group returns for a third year; and 85 percent of those return for a fourth year of enrollment.
In an effort to go green, our application process is fully electronic for applicants applying for Fall 2010 admission. This will benefit you the applicant by allowing submission of your application in its entirety directly to Princeton University.
