What are the ORC application requirements for the PhD and SM programs?


Applications should include the following:

  • Statement of Objectives (NOTE: There are no guidelines or limits for the Statement of Objectives, however we generally recommend that applicants keep it to around one page.)
  • transcripts
  • three letters of recommendation
  • International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and/or Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) test scores (if international). TOEFL scores must be from within the past two years.
