What is the intake period for the master's program I am targeting in USA?
14 Aug 2026 · Answered by Bhuvaneswari Gobinathan · 1 min read
The main intake for master's programs in the USA is the Fall intake (August/September). Since most Fall 2026 deadlines have passed, your next option is the Spring intake starting January 2027, with typical application deadlines between August and October 2026.
It's best to focus on the Spring 2027 intake.
