Domestic Students: ALL materials are due by December 1.
International Students: ALL materials are due by December 1. Since the availability of testing centers is sparse in some regions of the world, we accept official TOEFL/IELTS and GRE scores until January 15. This means they must be submitted by then, not that you can take your exam until January 15. The rest of your application must be completed by December 1.
Please note: ORIE accepts spring applications only in special circumstances.
For a master's degree, students must complete 24 credit hours in the ORIE program (this includes master's report or thesis hours, if applicable). In addition, 6 credit hours of electives must be completed. The coursework for Ph.D. is determined by the student's supervisor and supervising committee.
Doctorate: In addition to research and dissertation credits, a Ph.D. program of work must include 24 hours (8 classes) of graduate coursework in the area of specialization for students with a master's degree in an area related to ORIE. Students without such a master’s degree must complete the M.S. degree requirements and then complete 24 additional hours of coursework.
