Bay Path admits graduate students on a rolling basis. International applicants should apply four to five months before the term so the I-20 can be issued in time.
Graduate programmes generally start in fall and spring. Occupational therapy starts once a year.
International students come in on an F-1 visa. The I-20 comes from Bay Path University after you confirm your place and show you can cover a year of costs; you then pay the SEVIS fee, fill in the DS-160 and book your consulate interview.
Cybersecurity management, applied data science, healthcare management and occupational therapy are popular. Graduate entry needs a bachelor's degree and IELTS 6.5; occupational therapy has prerequisite courses.
Bay Path offers some graduate scholarships and assistantships. International students should ask admissions about eligibility.
