The priority deadline for receipt of all application materials is February 1 for fall admission. The priority deadline for spring admission is November 1. Once the priority date has passed, we continue to accept applications on a rolling basis until the program is filled. Visit our application page to apply online or download forms.

Graduate Application for Admission: Complete all sections of the application as indicated, including a required  "Statement of Purpose," which should address your experience, interests, and plans related to public policy. The essay should be typed and double spaced. Here are some helpful tips for what to include in your application.

Supplemental Application: MPP students are required to submit a supplemental application for admission.

Resume: In evaluating applications, we seriously consider students' diverse work, life, and educational backgrounds and experiences and ask that you submit a resume with your application to highlight your professional accomplishments. 

Application Fee of $50: Payable to Mills College by check, drawn on a U.S. bank. CASH/CREDIT CARDS NOT ACCEPTED.

Two Official Transcripts: Two copies of official transcripts sent directly from each post-secondary institution attended to the Office of Graduate Admission.

    Please Note:
    Admission to graduate or post-baccalaureate study at Mills College is contingent upon the possession of a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. If you are still completing your degree at the time of application, send official transcripts showing work completed and in progress.

    Immediately upon completion of the baccalaureate degree requirements, it is your responsibility to send a final transcript with the degree posted to our office.
