PhD Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,
Admission to the Michigan Ross PhD program is competitive and highly selective. When evaluating applications, we consider a wide range of qualifications, including the capacity for independent thinking (demonstrated through work or research), creativity, and excellent academic skills. Fit with faculty research interests and contribution to the diversity of the student community is also considered.
PhD applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and demonstrate working knowledge of college-level algebra, calculus, and intermediate microeconomics. The Accounting area requires a relevant master’s degree. For all other areas, an MBA or master’s degree in an allied field may be helpful, but it is not required and will not shorten the time in the program. We especially invite applications from qualified students with nontraditional backgrounds, international students, women, and members of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
Michigan Ross and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan jointly administer the applications for the PhD programs through an online submission process. As part of the application, individuals must designate a single area of study from the seven areas offered.
