Admission Requirements
We encourage international applications, although our experience has been that it helps a great deal if the student’s first experience in a U.S. educational institution is not at the doctoral level. International students without any former experience in U.S. institutions may be encouraged to first seek an MBA from Michigan State or some other school accredited by the AACSB, prior to seeking a Ph.D. in Management.
- Candidates are required to submit references or letter(s) of recommendation for acceptance
- Candidates are required to submit an essay(s) for acceptance
