How to Apply

  1. Create an account and start your application by selecting Fox School of Business (FSOB) as your school of choice in the online application portal. You will be asked to upload a statement of goals, a current resume and copies of your academic transcripts and enter recommender details within the application form.  
  2. Submit your application. 
  3. Pay the $60 application fee. 

Once submitted with payment, the admissions team reviews your application. They may request additional materials if required. You will receive an email notification once the application is complete.

In addition to a completed application, prospective students must also supply the following supporting materials.

Application Requirements

  • Résumé: A current professional résumé is required.
  • Transcripts: Submit official transcripts from every college and university you have attended. The ideal candidate has earned a GPA of 3.7 in both undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Request a transcript from Temple University.
  • Letters of Recommendation: Contact information for references may be submitted through the online Application Portal. References may then complete our electronic form or upload their own letters of recommendation.
  • 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.
