How can I check if a US university offers my program in the spring intake?

Check one program at a time. Look on the program page for a Spring or January start, note the spring application deadline for your exact program, and email the admissions office if the page is unclear. A university may run a spring intake while your specific program does not.
A university running a spring intake does not mean your program does too. You need to verify your exact program, and it takes only three checks.
Three Checks to Run
| Check | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Program page | Look for a Spring or January start |
| Deadline | Note the spring application deadline for your exact program |
| Admissions office | Email them if the page is not clear |
Why Program-Level Checks Matter
- Northeastern University's social sciences college, for example, says some of its programs admit students only in fall.
- At UT Dallas's Jindal School, spring deadlines are published for master's programs, but many MBA programs there and elsewhere begin only in fall.
- Spring program lists can also change from year to year.
My Advice
Do this check before you spend money on tests or applications. Keep the admissions reply in writing, and if a program is fall only, decide early whether to wait for the next fall cycle or pick a different spring program.
