PhD Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,
Applicants are required to submit GRE scores. While GRE scores are required, we do not have minimum GRE score thresholds for admission to our PhD program. Instead, we take a holistic approach to evaluating applications and consider a GRE score alongside all of the other parts of an application, detailed below. Strength in one area of an application may compensate for weaknesses in other areas.
Enter the cumulative (total) average as provided on your academic record and indicate the scale used (for example, 88/100 or 9/10).
If your institution does not provide the average or you attended more than one institution, please calculate your average using the following formula:
- Add all the numerical results for courses taken during your undergraduate study.
- Divide the sum total number by the number of courses taken. This is your average result.
- Enter this result. Do not convert this result to a 4.0 scale.
PhD Funding Coverage,
Historically, all Glenn College doctoral students have been fully funded (including tuition, stipend, and healthcare benefits) for at least four years. Stipends and healthcare benefits are competitive with those of other top schools of public affairs.
All applicants are considered for funded positions as part of the application review process.
All qualified applicants are considered for university fellowships that provide full funding (including tuition, stipend and healthcare benefits) with no work requirements. These are typically awarded for students’ first year in the program, but some students receive them for multiple years.
The most common forms of financial aid are Graduate Teaching Associate (GTA) and Graduate Research Associate (GRA) positions. Students work 20 hours per week as teaching or research assistants in return for full funding (including tuition, stipend and healthcare benefits). These are also great opportunities to develop research and teaching skills.
