How do i apply.
Apply online to the Ph.D. program. Start your application by setting up an account, and you can work on it periodically, saving it as needed. We encourage you to apply for Fall semester — the deadline for applications is December 15. (Spring semester applications, which are only considered by faculty invitation, are due by November 1).
There is no minimum required GPA. However, a strong GPA of at least 3.75 on a scale of 4.0 or equivalent is recommended to be a competitive applicant.
We strongly recommend GRE test scores for applicants who cumulative GPA is below 3.75/4.0.
If you are an international student who obtained your degree outside of the U.S., then either the TOEFL or IELTS is required. The minimum TOEFL IBT score is 80 with a 23 on the speaking section. If your speaking score is below 23, we still encourage you to apply, but we may request a phone or video interview to confirm speaking ability. The minimum IELTS score is 7.0.
If you are a non-native English speaker who spent a minimum of two academic years at an academic institution whose primary language of instruction was English, then you do not have to take the TOEFL or the IELTS. If it is not obvious that the institution’s primary language of instruction was English, a letter from the Registrar’s Office (or the office responsible for academic records) confirming English as the language of instruction is required.
DUOLINGO test scores are not recommended as a replacement for the TOEFL/IELTS test scores.
Yes, we require 3 letters of recommendation. Enter the recommender’s name and address into a form in the online application. You may add as many as five recommenders; three are required. The recommender will receive an email providing secure access to the recommendation form and instructions to complete the recommendation electronically. Please note that as soon as a recommender is added to an application, they will receive this email. Applicants should only add recommenders when they are prepared for this email to be sent and for a recommendation to be submitted for that application.
Letters of recommendation are very helpful to us in evaluating an application. Letters that discuss your potential as a graduate student are particularly helpful, especially if those that can cover your readiness for graduate level research.
We recommend that you line up your letter writers early in the application process so that they have enough time to write a strong letter and to submit it by the application deadline.
The statement of intent is a very important part of the application. We are looking for approximately two pages that describe:
You are welcome to reach out to the faculty and introduce yourself. But in practice, most faculty do not reply to such introductions.
Since admission decisions originate with a faculty member, you should identify the faculty advisors you wish to work with on both your application and in your statement of intent.
To help applicants connect with faculty members, the department holds several online ZOOM information events during the Fall (October- December). The schedule for these ZOOM sessions will be sent to you if you request more information about the EE department.
The fee is required for each application. We do award fee waivers occasionally. We will consider a request if you exhibit both genuine financial hardship and exceptional academic caliber.
All admitted Ph.D. students receive full financial support, including a full tuition scholarship, living stipend, and health insurance.
The average time to degree for a Ph.D. in electrical engineering is 5.5 years.
No. Anyone with an undergraduate degree in engineering or the physical sciences is encouraged to apply for the Ph.D. program. You can obtain an M.S. degree as you work toward your Ph.D.
If you are having technical issues with the application platform, please contact the Graduate School Admissions team ( [email protected] )

Breakthroughs often occur at the intersection of disciplines. At the nation’s best universities, researchers in applied and computational mathematics are collaborating with biologists, engineers, physicians, chemists, physicists, economists, and others on multifaceted problems that require mathematical modeling and computational simulation. Students trained in modeling and having experience as multidisciplinary team members have extraordinary potential. As in experimental research, graduate students have a primary role in computational and statistical analysis. The student has responsibility for carrying out the detailed steps and integrating the input from faculty in multiple areas. Additional information regarding the doctoral program, faculty research areas, recent graduate student placements, information about the Notre Dame Graduate School and the City of South Bend may be found in the ACMS doctoral program flyer .
The application deadline for the PhD program is Jan. 15 .
For application information, please visit the following links on the Graduate School's website:
The information is only accessible to ACMS doctoral students and ACMS regular faculty
Students in ACMS will satisfy the requirements of the master degree en route to their doctorates, and students in other doctoral programs at the University may obtain the degree by taking ACMS courses and passing the written and oral examinations described in the degree requirements.
The office of grants and fellowships.
From identifying potential funding sources to offering individual consultations, in-depth proposal reviews, workshops, and more, the Graduate School's Office of Grants and Fellowships provides game-changing guidance and resources to current graduate students and postdocs applying for external funding.
The University offers three types of primary educational funding to graduate students: tuition scholarships, assistantships, and fellowships. For the policy governing funding, please see the posted financial support policy . The University additionally supports students’ pursuit of external and internal awards through the Office of Grants and Fellowships .
Please note: the Graduate School has separate and distinct funding models for doctoral programs, master’s programs, and professional master’s programs. Students should consult their individual program’s funding structures, as well as resources offered by the Office of Financial Aid , for more information.
The Graduate School gives out annual awards during commencement for students, alumni, faculty and staff. Visit the award pages for descriptions and past winners.
Almost 100% of doctoral students in the Graduate School receive full-tuition scholarships that include all fees except for a small student activity fee. For the 2024-2025 academic year, tuition is $64,756, including Health and Technology fees. Refer to the Student Accounts website for the breakdown of tuition and fees for Graduate School programs.
Master’s programs offer varying levels of support, ranging from tuition assistantship to full tuition plus a stipend. Students should check with their individual program to learn what level of funding is available. Professional master’s programs normally do not cover tuition, meaning that the student is responsible for payment. (Merit-based scholarships are occasionally available.)
Tuition Scholarships are also available for summer courses. See eligibility and application .
Of our doctoral students, 94% receive multi-year fellowships or assistantships that provide stipends. For the 2024-2025 academic year, Notre Dame’s standard stipend for doctoral students on a twelve-month basis is $35,000 for humanities and social science students (up to $42,000 for select fellows ); for science and engineering students: $34,479 to $37,440 (up to $45,000 for select fellows); and, $42,000 for Mendoza PhDs (up to $45,000 for select fellows).

Earning a PhD in Management would allow you to become a professor in the management department of a top business school. There you could pursue a research agenda that you’re passionate about and that can improve employee thriving and organizational effectiveness. You could then pass your knowledge on to the next generation of business leaders in the classroom. As a career direction, the life of a professor in a top business school is very purposeful and surprisingly lucrative–with unparalleled flexibility and job security.
Mendoza has now admitted two cohorts of students into its PhD in Management program, and is in the midst of recruiting its third cohort. It’s an exciting and historic time, and there are several reasons why Notre Dame is a perfect place to pursue your PhD in Management.
The M&O faculty are extremely accomplished, with work showcased in journals like Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, Organizational Behavior & Human Decision Processes, Management Science, Journal of Personality & Social Psychology, Psychological Science, and Journal of Applied Psychology.
Notre Dame ranks 20th in US News as a university, with Mendoza ranking 13th in US News for undergrads and 30th for MBAs. A PhD from Mendoza therefore sets you up for success at both elite private schools and flagship state universities.
M&O faculty study a number of topics relevant to Mendoza's Grow the Good in Business mission, including social responsibility, justice, activism, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, ethics, reputation, trust, resilience, humility, and meaning. But we encourage PhD students to follow their own passions--and we'll help you develop lead-authored work on whatever you're passionate about.
M&O faculty include former Editors of top journals, along with current and former Associate Editors. We also serve on the Editorial Boards of virtually all of our top journals. You'll therefore learn the craft of research from the people who have shaped the publishing process.
M&O faculty use a variety of methods in their research, including experimental, archival, survey, qualitative, and meta-analytic approaches. That diversity will allow you to build a variety of skills into your methods toolkit.
Although our PhD program is fairly new, our faculty have significant experience placing PhD students in top business schools--whether in earlier faculty positions or through our former postdoctoral program. Collectively, our faculty have already placed 13 students at UT-Dallas Top 100 business schools.
Concentrations
Our program has two concentrations:
Our program is a five-year, full-time, in-residence program. You’ll learn how to conduct important, rigorous, and interesting research in management by collaborating with our talented faculty. You’ll also learn how to impart that knowledge in the classroom. Click below for a year-by-year breakdown of how the program is structured.
The craft of research is something you learn by doing, so you’ll get involved in research projects right away. Meanwhile, in the classroom, you’ll take both research methods and content seminars. Highlights include Research Methods in Management (taught by Jason Colquitt), Advanced Research Methods in Strategy (taught by John Busenbark), Theory and Research in Organizational Behavior (taught by Cindy Muir), and Theory and Research in Strategy (taught by Adam Wowak).
You’ll continue to move ongoing research projects forward, but will begin pivoting to lead-authored work in the areas that you’re passionate about. In the classroom, you’ll continue to take additional research methods and content seminars–both inside and outside of M&O. Highlights include Topics in Entrepreneurship & Innovation (taught by Dean Shepherd), Topics in Organizational Behavior (taught by Brittany Solomon), Topics in Organization Theory (taught by Tim Hubbard), and Philosophy of Science (taught by Craig Crossland). That training will culminate in your comprehensive exams, which occur the summer after your second year.
With your coursework complete, you’ll focus even more on moving projects forward–both your lead-authored projects and ones where faculty are leading. Much of that attention will be devoted to the review process: submitting manuscripts, handling revisions, and otherwise improving your work. You’ll also teach for the first time, with OB students teaching one section of an undergrad OB course and S&E students teaching one section of an undergrad Strategy or Entrepreneurship course.
As you continue to manage your portfolio of research projects, you’ll turn your attention to your dissertation. What important contributions do you want to make to your unique areas of interest? You’ll also teach for the second time.
You’ll defend your dissertation proposal in early summer before going on the academic job market in the fall. Students tend to accept academic positions in November or December. You’ll then defend your dissertation in the spring, continue to manage your research portfolio, and look forward to life as a professor!
As the Coordinator for the PhD in Management, I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about the program–or a PhD path more generally. Please email me at [email protected] or click on REQUEST INFO. I look forward to corresponding with you!
Our application deadline for Fall 2025 matriculation is December 15th, 2024. The application system will open in September of 2024. You can apply using the APPLY button in the navigation bar and at the top of this page.
Jason Colquitt
All students who are admitted to the program will be given a full tuition waiver. So the program is essentially tuition-free. In addition, all PhD students are paid a stipend of $42,000 a year. That stipend serves as compensation for your research activities (and for the teaching you would do in years three and four). Health insurance is also provided for you and your family.
We require either the GRE or the GMAT, and do not grant waivers for that requirement under any circumstances. We have no preference between the two tests. If you’ve previously taken one of those tests, we require a score that is less than five years old. The GRE institution code is 1841 (no department code is necessary).
It’s hard to say, as that is a function of a given application cycle, along with the rest of an applicant’s admissions portfolio. In prior cycles, the applicants who were shortlisted averaged 84th percentile on Verbal and 73rd percentile on Quant.
Yes, if English is not your native language, or if English was not your language of undergrad (or masters) instruction. We accept the TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test. If you’ve previously taken one of those tests, we require a score that is less than two years old. The TOEFL institution code is 1841 (no department code is necessary). Notre Dame’s Graduate School lists the following as minimums to apply: TOEFL (80, with 23 Speak), IELTS (7.0), and Duolingo (120). Applicants with scores below those thresholds will not be shortlisted.
The APPLY button will take you to the online application, which goes through Notre Dame’s Graduate School. That application will ask you for your resume, a statement of purpose/intent, three letters of recommendation, and unofficial transcripts of prior degrees.
No. The application will ask which faculty you might like to work with, but that is just to give us a better sense of your interests (and to help decide who will interview you if you get shortlisted). No advanced contact with faculty is expected. Please direct any inquiries to Jason Colquitt rather to individual faculty members.
No. Anyone with a bachelor’s degree can apply. There is no masters requirement. And past applicants have had a wide variety of bachelor’s degrees and undergraduate majors.
Not really. “Pre-doc” programs provide two years of research experience and skill building. The culture of our program is such that we’ll work to instill the skills you’ll need in the first year. If you know that a scholarly path is right for you, why wait two years to get started?
No. This sort of degree is best thought of as a research apprenticeship—where you are learning research skills in collaboration with faculty. That sort of collaboration requires a full-time, five-year, in-residence commitment.
Yes. Like virtually all other PhD programs in Management, the focus of our program is training students to become professors in top business schools. Upon graduation, the expectation is that you’ll become a professor in a Management department at a UT-Dallas Top 50 business school. If you are interested in OB topics with more of an eye toward a consulting or industry path, you might consider PhD programs in industrial/organizational psychology. Those programs offer both academic and applied tracks. This link provides information on several such programs.
No. This is—first and foremost—a research degree. Teaching is part of the degree, as teaching is an important part of a professor’s career. But, if teaching or administration are your main focus, you might do a search for Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programs, which are sometimes also called Executive Doctorate programs. This link provides information on several such programs.
This subreddit is for anyone who is going through the process of getting into graduate school, and for those who've been there and have advice to give.
I heard recently from a faculty member who is on the admissions committee that Yale received even more PhD applications this year, thus complicating the decision making process (especially without the GRE).
I also heard that Notre Dame's virtual interviews are likely for clarification / further questions, and that they hope to invite all students that they accept for a campus visit to meet the department and see the area. Not sure how true or actualized that will be with the pandemic, but thought I'd share anyway.
Further, I heard that Rutgers is hoping to send out decisions in mid-February.

Benjamin Radcliff, a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame, died June 10 after a long illness. He was 60.
Radcliff’s scholarly work focused on the intersection of American and comparative politics. He made significant research contributions in three primary areas: social choice theory, the political influence of organized labor and the politics of human happiness.
“He was a prolific scholar, pioneering the study of how political systems influence what he would call the ultimate dependent variable: human happiness,” said Matthew E.K. Hall , the David A. Potenziani Memorial College Professor of Constitutional Studies and director of the Rooney Center for the Study of American Democracy . “He liked to project a cantankerous, sarcastic persona, but it did little to persuade me that he was anything less than a saint.”
From Ottawa, Illinois, Radcliff received his doctorate in political science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He held faculty positions at Rutgers University and Vanderbilt University for two years each, and was part of Notre Dame’s political science department for 30 years. During his tenure, Radcliff served as the director of graduate studies for six years and as the director of the Rooney Center from 2012 through 2013.
His book “The Political Economy of Human Happiness: How Voters’ Choices Determine the Quality of Life” detailed his research on the connection between government support for citizens and workers and overall human happiness. Radcliff also completed two edited volumes and 45 referred journal articles, 14 of which appeared in the three leading journals in political science: the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science and the Journal of Politics.
From 2019 through 2022, with department chair and professor Geoffrey Layman , Radcliff served as the co-editor-in-chief of Political Behavior — the official journal of the elections, public opinion and voting behavior organized section of the American Political Science Association. In this position, Layman said, Radcliff was known for his thorough feedback, and he often kindly explained his reasonings to authors whose manuscripts he rejected.
“Ben not only helped the journal reach new heights in terms of scholarly impact and ranking, but also was an exceedingly caring and thoughtful editor,” Layman said.
Beyond academia, Radcliff was also known for his ability to engage in enlightening conversations on subjects ranging from history and politics to music, literature, wine and arcane trivia. With his wife, Amy, Radcliff published the book “Understanding Zen,” which examined zen as a secular doctrine without any necessary relationship to Buddhism or Eastern culture. He also wrote an article on “The Beer Renaissance” in Sky, the Delta Airlines magazine.
“In short, Ben did not just study human happiness, he actively contributed to it,” Layman said.
Radcliff is survived by his wife, as well as his mother, brother and many nieces and nephews. A celebration of life is scheduled to be held in August. Those who wish to honor his memory with a donation can do so at Heifer International using the link set up by his colleagues.

Sincere condolences to James L. “Jim” McDonel ’73Ph.D. on the sudden loss of his younger son before last Thanksgiving due to heart disease. In celebration of her 89th birthday on March 9, Sister Katherine “Kay” Seibert, SC, MD, ’67MS, ’73Ph.D., recipient of the 2018 NDAA Dr. Thomas A. Dooley MD Award, did what she always does — she checked in on her cancer patients. In deference to the amount of travel this has required, Kay now relies on Zoom calls to maintain contact with patients as far away as the Catskills from her residence at Seton Village in Nanuet NY. Many undergraduates and graduate alumni in the biological sciences will fondly remember Prof. Karamjit S. Rai, who died March 7, just 17 days short of his 93rd birthday, in his ancestral home city of Jalandhar, Punjab, India. He is survived by his wife, Gurmit; daughter Ravinder; sons Jagraj Rai, Sukhdev “Dave” Rai ’82, Amar Rai ’85, ’89MS and Rajinder “Raj” Rai ’93 ; and granddaughter Amarpreet Rai ’15 . Students who took Prof. Rai’s general undergraduate genetics course or other courses at the graduate level, such as cytogenetics, will recall that Rai, a Sikh, had such a large number of turbans that he could wear a different color of turban for each lecture in a semester. Rai received a faculty position at Notre Dame in 1960 after completing his doctorate at the U of Chicago; he stayed at ND through his entire career. Prior to his 1999 retirement, Rai had been elected to the National Academy of Sciences of India in 1996 and previously had been given an honorary professorship at the Guru Nanak Dev U in Punjab in recognition for the establishment of its Department of Biological Sciences that he had fostered in 1973. Making good on a promise to his mother when he accepted his faculty position, Prof. and Mrs. Rai returned to their native land upon retirement. It is there that Rai established a charitable trust in memory of his father, mother and grandmother. The trust has contributed to buildings for a grade school, a high school, a local college and, in Moranwali his birthplace, a hospital. Rai’s legacy lives on at Notre Dame in the form of his book, titled Four Decades of Vector Biology at the University of Notre Dame: A Scientific Perspective , which is available through Amazon. Since their children (and perhaps more importantly their grandchildren) remained in the USA, Prof. and Mrs. Rai made frequent trips, with extended stays, back to the US. Fortuitously, your correspondents, both having taken a class from Rai, were able to spend a long afternoon with him at the Vestal NY home of his son Amar in October 2021. Many memories were revived during the visit. One of PBC’s personal memories was as an undergraduate when he was employed to care for the biology department’s greenhouse. Prof. Rai came in to attend to his plants and, upon spotting Dr. Gerd Benda’s pepper plants full of mature fruit, he exclaimed “Peppers!” After he was done filling his jowls with red peppers, he went about his business. Seeing this, PBC thought the fruit must be good and popped one into his own mouth . . . with the expected result. — Joan Smith Carter ’71MS and Philip B.
