Doctoral Program: Application Procedure
Process and Timeline
Beginning each January,
the Marketing Department Ph.D. Admission
Committee reviews Ph.D. applications for
admission to the doctoral program the
following fall, with the goal of forming
an entering class of three to five new
Ph.D. students. Admissions are based on a
balanced consideration of multiple
factors, including academic credentials,
GMAT/GRE scores, work experience, the
personal statement of goals and
objectives, and recommendation letters.
Some type of financial assistance is
available to all admitted applicants.
Applications with all materials received
by the Marketing Department before
January 4th (starting in 2005) will
receive highest priority for admissions
consideration. The application steps are
as follows:
Step One: Follow on-line
application instructions
Step Two: Send official documents and
application fee to GIAC
Step Three: Send materials directly to the
Marketing Department
STEP One: Follow on-line
