The Application and Admissions Process
Learn how to apply, meet admission requirements, and navigate each step of the application process for our flexible, fully online doctoral programs designed for working professionals.
Step 1
You complete the online application and upload the required materials, including your résumé or CV, statement of purpose, and academic transcripts. Your materials should clearly describe your professional background and your goals for doctoral study. Once you submit the application, it enters the admissions review process.
Step 2
The admissions team reviews your application to confirm that all required materials are included and that you meet the minimum eligibility requirements. If clarification or additional documents are needed, you may be contacted by the admissions office. Applications that meet the requirements move forward to faculty evaluation.
Step 3
Program faculty review your academic preparation, professional experience, and research interests. During this stage, faculty assess whether your background and goals align with the doctoral program. The review focuses on determining whether the program is a strong academic fit for you.
Step4
After the evaluation process is complete, you receive a formal admissions decision from the university. If you are admitted, you will receive instructions for enrollment and information about the next steps in beginning your program. These materials will guide you through the process of confirming your place and preparing to start your studies.
