PhD Program : Internal Admissions

Applicants to the Ph.D. Program in Business who currently attend Drexel University or who previously attended Drexel University need not pay an application fee. In addition, current or former Drexel students should NOT submit their application materials to the Office of Graduate Admissions. Instead, they should submit the following materials to the Office of the Ph.D. Program in Business (325 Academic Building) by February 1.

• A cover letter: with applicant contact information that indicates the specialization area for which admission is sought.
• Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT): Applicants to all specializations within the Ph.D. program are required to submit scores from the GMAT, except for applicants to the specializations in economics and decision sciences who may submit either the GMAT or the GRE. GMAT and GRE scores are not accepted if they are more than five years old.
• A personal statement: The personal statement should explain the applicant's educational and personal experiences that have influenced the decision to pursue a Ph.D. and should discuss the candidate's career plans and goals. The faculty is especially interested in learning about an applicant's prior research experience and the commitment to future research in the applicant's area of specialization.
• Two letters of recommendation: Applicants are strongly encouraged to seek recommendations from academics or other professionals who can assess the applicant's likelihood of success in a research-oriented Ph.D. program.
• All undergraduate and graduate level transcripts.
