PhD - Doctor of Philosophy in Information

University of Arizona

The following are guidelines. The faculty consider the overall package when making candidate evaluations:

• An undergraduate or graduate academic record that is indicative of significant achievement. This is normally a GPA of a minimum of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
• A minimum of three letters of recommendation that clearly speak to the applicant's promise as a graduate student and as a doctoral student.
• A résumé indicating both employment and educational experience to date.
• A statement of purpose clearly outlining why he/she is applying to this particular program and what he or she considers the outcome of doctoral study will be. Applicants need not, at this point, indicate potential dissertation topics, but an indication of the area(s) in which they propose to study would be very helpful to the faculty.
• A completed set of application forms for the Graduate College and for the School.
• An interview, on campus or by phone, with selected members of the faculty.
