PhD Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,
The Simon PhD Program does not have minimum requirements for test scores or GPA. Admitted students typically have GMAT scores around 700 or higher and GRE scores around 317 or higher. The average GMAT for admitted students is 718 and the average GRE score for admitted students is 327.
We require students to be in residency for the duration of their doctoral studies. In some circumstances, a student may waive their residency requirement after close consultation with faculty and program staff. In normal times, full time residency is required so students can engage fully in the research culture of the school.
An admitted student may work with their area faculty to determine if courses taken at another institution may be used to waive required courses in the Simon PhD Program. In this case, additional courses would be substituted for the student to maintain full-time enrollment.
Students are encouraged not to work outside of their academic roles in order to ensure enough time to meet the program requirements and prepare for their scholarly career.
PhD Funding Coverage,
Admitted PhD students qualify for full-tuition scholarship and an annual fellowship of $35,500 plus student health insurance for five years. Students also get a research budget and dedicated PhD spaces including recently renovated offices and a computer lab. Please see our Tuition and Financial Aid page for a full outline of our offerings and opportunities.
