How to Apply:

Along with your completed application accompanied by $50 non-refundable application fee, you鈥檒l need to provide a few supporting materials. Because there鈥檚 lead time required for some items, here鈥檚 a step-by-step process that seems to work best for candidates:

 

  • While you wait for your transcripts to be processed, you can begin your online application, which lets you build, edit and save sections of your application along the way. 

  • Order your official transcript(s). Official transcript(s) indicating that the applicant has earned a Master's degree from an accredited college or university.

 

  • Personal Statement. One-page statement that summarizes the value of the program of doctoral study for your personal or professional growth and development.

 

  • Writing Sample. Upload a copy of your Master's thesis/paper or published work. Alternatively, you may provide a written response to the following question: What do you think is a major or current issue, in your area of expertise, that has a significant impact regarding the community?

 

  • Professional Resume.

 

  • Three letters of recommendation. Letters are accepted from professors, employers, or supervisors familiar with the applicant鈥檚 professional experiences.   

 

  • Interview with the Ph.D. Program Director and Faculty member. After all the required application materials have been received, each applicant will be contacted to arrange for a personal interview.

 

Test scores (GRE, GMAT, or MAT) may be needed in consideration of an applicant with a Master's degree GPA below 3.25.

 

International applicants may have additional requirements and can review the application process for international students.
