Below you will find more information necessary to complete your application to the Michael G. Foster School of Business PhD Program in Business Administration. Please note that you will be sending materials to two different units: Graduate Admissions, Graduate School and the Foster School of Business PhD Program as indicated in the "Application checklist." It is your responsibility to ensure that your application is complete and ready for consideration by the deadline of February 1.

Since most of the Foster School of Business requirements have to be submitted online with the application to the Graduate School please see the accompanying basic information and instructions from the Graduate School.

International applicants should pay particular attention to the English language requirements. The Foster School of Business requires the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the Test of Spoken English (TSE) because teaching assistantships are an integral part of the School’s financial aid package. The new TOEFL iBT with a speaking section can be taken in lieu of the TSE. Exemptions are indicated under the Application Process section. Note that the University does not accept scores on these tests that are more than two years old (from the test date).

Committee review of applications begins in early February and is usually completed in early May.
