Doctoral Admissions Committee
The Doctoral Admissions Committee is responsible for thoroughly reviewing all submitted application materials to determine eligibility for entry into the Ph.D. program. This comprehensive evaluation considers academic records, professional experience, letters of recommendation, personal statements, and other relevant documents.
New Student Applicant (Decision-Making Process)
1. Educational Criteria: The committee conducts a holistic review, ensuring all aspects of an applicant's profile are considered. This includes academic achievements, research potential, professional experience, and personal qualities.
2. Decision Outcomes:
o Cohort Size: The program starts one cohort of a maximum of 15 students each year.
o Selection: Applicants who meet or exceed the program's criteria are offered admission.
o Deferral: Applicants who show potential but do not meet all criteria may be deferred for future consideration, pending additional information or improvements in their application.
o Denial: Applicants who do not meet the necessary criteria for admission are denied.
3. Finality and Reapplication:
o Decisions made by the Doctoral Admissions Committee are final and are not subject to appeal.
o If an applicant is denied admission, they must wait at least 12 months before reapplying. This period allows candidates to strengthen their applications based on the feedback provided.
o If a second application is denied, the individual's application will not be considered for future admissions cycles.
4. Communication: Applicants will be informed of the committee's decision following the interview and application review process.
