The following is a description of the application and admission procedures for the Doctorate within the OLIT Program. The applicant should consult the UNM Catalog for additional details. Applicants should be aware that incomplete files will not be reviewed for the current admission year.
Admission criteria include a Master's Degree from an accredited college or university with a 3.5 GPA, positive recommendations, minimum M.A.T. test results of 400 or minimum G.R.E. test results of 900 (verbal & quantitative combined), and goals or objectives that can be reasonably achieved through a degree in this program.
When the file is complete, applicants for admission to the OLIT Doctoral Program will be interviewed by a panel of at least three regular OLIT Program faculty members. (In rare instances, where it is impossible for the applicant to personally appear for an interview, a videotape prepared by the applicant in response to a set of Program questions, will be used. After viewing the tape, an audio teleconference may be scheduled.)
Evaluation criteria include (1) a grade point average of 3.5 in the Master's Degree, and other relevant graduate work; (2) assessment of the variety and quality of experiences which provide evidence of the acquisition of knowledge and skills appropriate for the doctoral level of performance; (3) M.A.T. or G.R.E. test score, as stated above; (4) recommendations (5) evidence of professional growth and a desire for continued professional development; (6) demonstrated writing skills; and (7) the personal interview.
Criteria for interview evaluations include:
After careful consideration of all data presented by the applicant, the Program faculty will make a decision regarding admission to the OLIT Doctoral Program.
Admission to the OLIT Doctoral Program is a once-per-year process, with applicants being admitted for the Fall semester only.
A complete applicant file must be in the Program office no later than March 15 of the year the applicant is hoping to gain admission to the Program. It is the applicant's responsibility to check in with the Program Specialist to see what items are missing from his/her file sufficiently early in the process and make sure that the file is complete by the deadline.
Application materials submitted to the Graduate Admissions Department should be submitted at least a month prior to the Program deadline, which allows for the processing of those materials.
Upon notification of admission to the Program by letter, doctoral students should consult their Major Advisor (or Program of Studies Chair) as soon as possible in the first semester to (1) develop a tentative program of studies, and (2) determine committee membership. They should also familiarize themselves with the rules in the UNM Catalog under which they have been admitted.
