• Minimum admission standards are established by the Graduate Faculty of the G. Brint Ryan College of Business. Admission to the college's Ph.D. program is very competitive; therefore, satisfaction of the minimum standards does not guarantee admission to a degree program. Minimum admission standards of the college are as follows.

Step 3: Admission to the Department

Admission to each major area is based on the student's academic record, work experience, and expressed "Statement of Purpose" or personal objectives. Only students who, in the judgment of the Graduate Faculty of each major area, show high promise of academic achievement will be admitted. Satisfying the quantitative criteria does not guarantee admission. The Graduate Faculty of each major area may establish additional and/or higher requirements specific to their department.

The appropriate departmental committee will evaluate the student's application for admission on the basis of the department standards, indicate on the CoB Admission Form (Form B) whether the student is Approved for Admission, Denied Admission (with reason) or Recommended for Provisional Admission (Category II) and return the completed form to the Ph.D. Program & Research Office, BLB 201.

The Director of Ph.D. Program & Research will send an admission decision letter to those students selected by the appropriate departmental committee. A copy of the letter will be provided to the respective departmental Ph.D. Coordinator. The letter will specify that the applicant has 15 days in which to respond to the admission offer. An applicant's failure to accept an offer within 15 days will result in a second letter indicating withdrawal of the offer.

Transfer of Programs

A student admitted by the G. Brint Ryan College of Business and an academic department who wishes to transfer into a different major area must meet the admission requirements of the newly selected major area. A student desiring a transfer must request admission to the selected major area, in writing, via the Graduate School and the Director of Phd Programs & Research. Approval of his/her admission will be determined under the normal departmental admission requirements and procedures.

Students may change their major area only with the consent of the RCoB Doctoral Program Committee and the graduate faculties of the respective area(s). A student will not be permitted to change a major area after he/she has failed one qualifying examination.
