Scholarship Decision Date | February 1 |
Early Action Group Program Application DeadlineUnless you are depending on a scholarship decision, our best advice is to apply early. Early action would provide priority consideration for the most competitive programs/those with limited acceptance likelihood and allows more time to prepare for international travels. | December 1 |
Early Action Group Program Decision Date | December 9 |
Early Action Group Program Commitment Deadline and Study Abroad Fee DueIf you applied for the Early Action cycle but you are not ready to commit or take no action to commit to the program, your application will automatically be deferred to the Regular deadline.

NC State Prague: Summer Internship program applications are not eligible for deferral because of the internship placement timeline. | December 23 |
