Transfer into the Ph.D. Program

A student wishing to transfer to the Ph.D. program must submit the following material to the Graduate Studies Committee:

  1. A ``goal letter'' explaining the student's motives and describing the intended research area.
  2. Letters from three current School faculty members supporting the application. In the event that the applicant's supervisory committee has been formed, then at least one of these letters must be from the chair of that committee.
  3. A University of Utah transcript.

Applications will not be reviewed unless at the time of application the applicant has completed at least two academic semesters of graduate study. Summer term does not count in this tally.
