March 1st (extended for fall 2022) for regular face-to-face program, June 1st for online option

December 1^st priority deadline with applications accepted through February 15^th

Applicants to the program must submit the following records and documents to the Office of Graduate Admissions:

1. A completed online application for Graduate Admission with appropriate fees;
2. Official transcripts of all higher education institutions attended;
3. Three letters of reference attesting to the applicant’s ability to succeed in doctoral study;
4. A current resume/vitae;
5. A statement that sets forth the applicant’s research interests and career goals and relates these goals to the completion of the Ph.D. Program in Higher Education; and
6. A writing sample illustrating research skills (such as a thesis, journal article, paper submitted for academic credit; etc.).

Letters and any other supporting documents are to be provided to the FIU Admissions Office following instructions in the online portal. 
No action will be taken on incomplete files. A file is considered incomplete if any of the above is missing:

The application and all supporting documentation are reviewed by program faculty using the criteria noted below. Exceptions to one or more of the stated criteria may be granted on the basis of other compelling evidence that the applicant is likely to be successful in this doctoral program.

1. A grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in upper level undergraduate credits;
2. A cumulative 3.25 GPA for all graduate work attempted.
3. International graduate student applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit a score for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A total score of 80 on the iBT TOEFL or 6.5 overall on the IELTS is required.
4. The evidence from the writing sample that the applicant can perform doctoral-level work.
5. A possible interview with the Doctoral Admissions Committee.

Members of the program's graduate faculty will constitute the Doctoral Admissions Committee. Upon completion of the review of the applicant's file and the interview, the Doctoral Admissions Committee will make recommendations to the University Graduate School. 

 As admission to programs is competitive, meeting minimum admission requirements does not assure admission into the program. A candidate for admission to the program will be judged not only on the basis of quantitative criteria but also in relation to prior experience, especially as it relates to future career goals and faculty expertise.
   
   Admission into the doctoral program takes place once a year for entry in the Fall semester. Applicants should prepare all application materials in time for the program faculty and the Office of Admissions to receive them no later than December 1 for the following year's fall admissions.
