How to Apply

To apply:

Application Deadline

The application process typically takes four to six weeks after the Office of Graduate Enrollment Services has received a complete application. However, foreign applications may take longer due to slow physical mail and visa issues.

The Graduate Program Coordinator in the Department of Networking, Security, and System Administration only evaluates applications after all of the information has been submitted and verified by a counselor in RITÂ’s Office of Graduate Enrollment Services.

Students can be admitted at various times during the year. However, acceptance into the MS program does not guarantee availability of classes. As the start of the quarter approaches, many classes become full. Students, who apply just before the start of a quarter, may need to wait until the following quarter before starting their course work.
