Application Requirements

Résumé: A current professional résumé is required.
Transcripts: Temple University requires transcripts from each academic institution from which you earned credit for coursework. Copies of transcripts may be used during the admissions process; however, Temple University requires officials of any admitted student. Additional documentation may be required for non-US academic institutions, such as marksheet and diploma. For such institutions, please review these guidelines from Temple University’s Graduate School.  
Letters of Recommendation: One letter of recommendation is required. Professional references from an immediate supervisor, current or past, are preferred. Academic references are acceptable. Within the application, enter your reference’s contact information. References are then invited to upload their letters of recommendation. We encourage you to submit your application while waiting for recommendations to be completed.
Essays: The first essay should address the applicant’s goals and motivations for pursuing the PhD degree, as well as detail his or her general areas of research interest. The second essay is an optional essay.
Standardized Test Scores: The GMAT is required. Official scores must be reported from a GMAT test taken within the last five years. Student scores must be in the 90th percentile or above on the GMAT. For applicants whose native language is not English, the TOEFL, IELTS or PTE Academic exam is required. The GMAT score is heavily preferred, but GRE scores may also be considered. Applicants for the Statistics PhD program will be required to submit a GRE score.
Interview: Candidates may be interviewed after submission of their application. Interviews may occur in person or through video conference. If an interview is scheduled, on-site interviews are strongly recommended so that applicants can visit Temple University and the Fox School to tour the facilities and meet the PhD faculty.
