Ph.D. AdmissionGeneral New doctoral students in the MIS program are admitted every other fall. The next term for which students will be admitted to the MIS program is Fall 2010. For U.S. citizens, applications for admission and all related materials should be received by March 1. International applicants must complete the application process by Feb. 1. Applications are reviewed beginning in November of the preceding year, and admission decisions are made during the spring semester until slots are filled for the following fall, with most classes filled as early as April 15. In order to be eligible for the widest range of financial assistance packages, it is recommended that applicants submit all materials by no later than January 1. Doctoral admission decisions are made by the College of Business Doctoral Admissions Committee. Admission to the doctoral program is based on a combination of factors such as grades, GMAT scores, letters of recommendation, experience and record of accomplishments, and the number of qualified applicants we receive each year. The College admits a small number of the most highly qualified students from a large number of applicants. The following information is used in making the admission decision:
For international applicants whose native language is not English, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required. A minimum score of 100 on the Internet-based TOEFL, taken within the past five years, is required. While there are no absolute minimum cutoff test scores or grades, it is unlikely that an applicant will be admitted with less than: (1) a 3.00 undergraduate and a 3.50 graduate grade point average; (2) a 600 GMAT score (GMAT scores of recent admissions have ranged from 640 to 770), with a reasonable balance between verbal and quantitative scores; and (3) a minimum ibTOEFL score of 100. The above grades and test scores do not guarantee admission. The Doctoral Admissions Committee carefully reviews each applicant's grades and test scores in conjunction with letters of recommendation, prior universities and programs attended, experience and the applicant's statement of purpose. Decisions to admit students depend on the number and relative strengths of applications received each year, the current enrollment in the doctoral program, and the College's ability to offer financial assistance. Admission to the doctoral program is in the fall semester of each year. For U.S. citizens, applications for admission and all related materials should be received by March 1. International applicants must complete the application process by February 1. However, the majority of decisions are made several months earlier; financial assistance deadlines are considerably earlier -- some as early as January 1.
