The next PhD in World Arts cohort will be considered for admission in April 2026.
In the meantime, you may be considered for general graduate admission by submitting this application and fulfilling the general graduate admission requirements (found here). If you are accepted to DIU as a general graduate student, you can start taking the four MA-level Qualifying courses toward the fulfillment of Phase 1 of the PhD program.
To be considered for acceptance into the program, in addition to the general graduate admission requirements, all PhD in World Arts admission requirements must be fulfilled by the deadline for the next cohort. (They are found here, together with other program details). You will need to work closely with program personnel to make sure everything is completed at the appropriate time.
Acceptance to DIU as a general graduate student for the purpose of doing your Qualifying courses is not a guarantee of acceptance into the PhD in World Arts program.
