Other requirements

General requirements

Students are admitted to the Simon PhD Program without a faculty advisor or sponsor. We encourage our students to work with several faculty within their first few years to study to find the best research fit before choosing an advisor. As such, it is not necessary to contact a faculty member during the application process.

There are no specific prerequisites for the PhD Program beyond the completion of an undergraduate degree. However, a strong academic record is essential. Successful applicants usually have a strong background in quantitative subjects like mathematics and economics.
