Minimum Admission Requirements
  • Applicants are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants to all fields must also satisfy the Rotman School's additional admission requirements stated below.
  • Some depth in the cognate disciplines relevant to the field of specialization is required.
  • These requirements may be satisfied prior to entry to the PhD program through an MBA degree program coupled with a relevant undergraduate degree, or through an undergraduate degree in business, management, or commerce coupled with a discipline-based master's degree.
  • If the depth requirements are completed prior to entry to the PhD program, then the student is expected to complete the program in four years. If additional coursework is required, then the student may need an additional year to complete the program.
  • In exceptional cases, and at the discretion of the Rotman School, admission to the program by direct-entry may be approved for applicants with an appropriate bachelor’s degree with high standing (a least an A- average in courses relevant to the discipline) from a recognized university.
  • Applicants should provide:
  • transcripts from each post-secondary institution attended
  • a letter of intent for applying to the PhD program
  • an updated curriculum vitae (CV)
  • two reference letters
  • a valid GMAT or GRE score
  • proof of English-language proficiency, if applicable.
Program Requirements
  • Students are expected to be qualified in the three basic disciplines essential to the study of management: economics, behavioural science, and quantitative analysis/statistics.
  • During all years of study, students must maintain residency.
  • Students in all fields normally complete coursework in a major field and two minor fields during the first two years in the program. In subsequent years of study, students concentrate on deepening knowledge through additional coursework and on generating unprecedented insights through research that culminates in a written doctoral thesis.
  • Full-time students must complete a minimum of 4.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) to satisfy requirements for one major field and two minor fields of study. Direct-entry students must complete an additional 2.0 FCEs within Year 1 of their program.
  • A minimum of 2.0 FCEs comprise the major field. These will normally be taken from 3000-level Management courses, but additional courses from other departments may be required.
  • The two minor fields are usually taken in cognate departments. Each minor field comprises at least 1.0 FCE.
  • Upon completion of the courses in the major and minor fields, students are expected to pass comprehensive examinations in the major field.
  • Successful completion of the required course RSM 3080H Research Methods in Business.
  • A thesis embodying the results of original investigation must be submitted and defended at a Doctoral Final Oral Examination in accordance with the regulations of the School of Graduate Studies.
