The applicant must submit an application, official transcripts of all college or university-level work, provide scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test taken within the last five years, and provide three letters of recommendation, two from academic references, which attest to the individual's academic potential and ability for achievement. The applicant must also submit a personal statement of goals, approximately two to three pages, on how the completion of the doctoral program will assist in achieving personal and professional career goals.
The completed application materials will be reviewed by the graduate program director and faculty in the major area of study. They will evaluate the individual's abilities and motivation to succeed in the doctoral program. A personal interview may be required before the admission decision can be reached. A recommendation is made by the faculty and a final decision on admission is made by the graduate program director.
