Application Requirements
Applicants must have completed a bachelor's degree or the equivalent before beginning graduate study. Applicants who already hold a Ph.D. degree will not be considered for a second Ph.D. degree. Transcripts from each college or university attended, three letters of recommendation, a CV, and essays are required components of the application and are carefully and equally weighed during the evaluation process. GRE policies differ substantially among the various graduate programs, and therefore applicants must refer to the GRE policy for their specific graduate program. Most of the funding sources require work authorization. As a consequence, matriculation into the PhD program requires evidence of work authorization, unless special compensation can be arranged with the admitting option.
