ADMISSIONS

Pursuing a doctorate in business requires commitment not only from you, but your family and friends as well. You will spend long hours, week in and week out, immersed in course work, studying for prelims, and working on your research.
Your intelligence, the skills you acquire in the basic disciplines (particularly economics, econometrics and statistics), your passion for your chosen field, and an uncompromising work ethic are necessary for successful and timely completion of our program.

To be considered for admission into Olin’s doctoral program, you must submit the following:

1) A completed online application.
2) Application fee.
3) Three letters of recommendation.
4) Photo copies* of Transcripts of all prior undergraduate and graduate work.
5) Photo copies* of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).The GMAT institution code for the doctorate in business is R4T-WG-45. The GRE institution code is 4934.
6) International students who do not possess a degree from an American university are required to submit a copy* of the  
    Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score.

In addition to the required application materials, applicants are evaluated on the strength and breadth of academic background, experience, ability to research and aptitude.

*Official documents will be required upon admission to the doctoral program.
