Important Dates

Design Studies Institute’s academic programs accept applications on a rolling basis. Applications are reviewed following the Application Deadline for a term in which the Academic Program is accepting new students. All applications received by a term’s Application Deadline will be reviewed for the term’s entry. Application decisions are published following a review by the Admissions Committee.

After the Application Deadline has passed, applications may continue to be reviewed on a space-available basis. If you apply following a deadline, it is recommended to reach out to your Admissions Counselor or admissions@designstudies.institute to inquire as to whether a specific program is accepting applications. Academic programs that are no longer accepting applications will place completed applications for review in the next term's admissions cycle for which the program is accepting new students.
