Prior Educational Background

Applicants for admission to PhD programs must possess a good first degree from a recognized university or an approved institution. An applicant’s undergraduate background is not a precondition for admission. We encourage students outside business majors, such as science, engineering, arts and other areas to apply.

The Application Date

Admission to PhD programs is for the beginning of the fall semester. The Admissions Committee begins review applications from January. Applicants are urged to submit all application materials (including copies of GMAT and TOEFL scores) by early February. Applications submitted after this date will be considered only if spaces are available. As not every department will consider admission to the PhD programs for each year, applicants should check with individual departments before they apply. Applicants will be notified of the decisions no later than May.

The GMAT or the GRE

An applicant must demonstrate his/her capability for graduate studies by obtaining a satisfactory score in the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), or other equivalent means. The test score is not the primary deciding factor for admission to doctoral studies. However, applicants with a GMAT score below 600 must have a strong academic record and/or extensive experience in their chosen field to demonstrate their potential. Registration forms for the test may be obtained by writing to:
