During the 2025 admissions season, we received 4,444 applications; that figure represents a 1.6 percent increase in applications from 2024. Ultimately, 193 students were admitted into our graduate program, representing 4.3 percent of all applications. In the fall 2025 semester, 136 new students will join our doctoral graduate program.

Welcome to our analysis of the 2025 graduate program admissions data. This year, we received 4,444 applications, representing a 1.6 percent increase from the previous year. Out of these applications, 193 students were admitted, giving us an acceptance rate of 4.3 percent. Finally, 136 new students will join our doctoral graduate program in the fall 2025 semester. These three key metrics provide the foundation for understanding our admissions process and program selectivity.
Let's analyze the year-over-year growth in applications. To understand the baseline, we need to calculate the 2024 application numbers. If 4,444 applications represent a 1.6 percent increase from 2024, we can work backwards. Dividing 4,444 by 1.016 gives us 4,377 applications in 2024. This means we had an increase of 67 applications between 2024 and 2025. This 1.6 percent growth rate indicates steady interest in our graduate program and suggests positive market demand for our doctoral offerings.
Now let's examine the program's selectivity by calculating the acceptance rate. The acceptance rate is calculated by dividing the number of admitted students by the total number of applications. With 193 students admitted out of 4,444 applications, we get an acceptance rate of 4.3 percent. This means that 95.7 percent of applications were rejected. This 4.3 percent acceptance rate indicates that our program is highly competitive and selective. For context, typical graduate programs have acceptance rates ranging from 10 to 30 percent, making our program significantly more selective than average.
