What is the application deadline for the Economics Department?
The Economics Department at American University has what is called ‘rolling admissions’. Rolling admissions works like this: We accept applications throughout the year. But to be accepted into a specific semester, you’d need to turn in your completed application 6 weeks before the prior semester ends. For example, if you want to enroll for Fall 2008, we’d need your completed application 6 weeks before the start of that semester. (*note: this is the deadline for a fully completed application with all materials turned in). There is no specific time period where it is “better” to turn in an application; we review them as they come in. Furthermore, we examine all applications as a whole. If one requirement is poor, then making sure you fulfill other application requirements above and beyond is always a good thing.
