What are the basic qualifications for admission into the PhD program?
The admissions committee seeks students with at least a 3.2 (on a 4.0 scale) undergraduate GPA and scores of at least 500 on the verbal and quantitative sections of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Please note that admission to the program is very competitive and those admitted typically have higher GPAs and GRE scores. Also viewed positively are research experience and a familiarity with the research that has been published by our faculty. Our program is geared toward training individuals to go into academic positions, so a career goal consistent with this emphasis is important.
