Admission Requirements

Each year a limited number of exceptionally qualified students are admitted to the Ph.D. program in marketing. A master's degree in hand or in process is expected, along with grade point averages above 3.5, and GMATs in excess of 650 or GREs in excess of 1300. We also prefer that students interview on campus with faculty members before the admission decision is made. For foreign students we expect to see TOEFL of 100 or more and very strong English skills in writing and speaking.

We do fall admissions only, and encourage applicants to get their applications to us by December 20th of the year before they wish to be considered. Some students will be asked to visit campus before a decision is made. We may conduct phone interviews with others. Most decisions are made in March. If all positions are not filled in April, we may consider a late application at that time.

Please be sure to include your resume when applying through the Graduate School website to the PhD program. To apply go to http://graduate.ua.edu/.
