Q. I am currently enrolled in another University of Wisconsin–Madison graduate program. May I request a “Change or Addition of Major” to enter the Wisconsin School of Business Ph.D. Program?
A. No. It is necessary for all applicants to complete the online application for the Wisconsin School of Business Ph.D. Program even if they are currently enrolled in another University of Wisconsin– Madison graduate degree program. While the Wisconsin School of Business graduate degree programs are under the academic jurisdiction of the university’s Graduate School, our admissions process is both separate from and independent of that of other Graduate School departments. If you have additional questions about the admissions process for the Wisconsin School of Business, please contact the Ph.D. coordinator at phd@bus.wisc.edu and identify yourself as a current graduate student who is interested in applying to the Ph.D. Program. You will then receive specific advice relevant to the procedures you should follow.
Q. May I transfer into the Ph.D. Program from another university?
A. The University of Wisconsin–Madison does not consider transfer students. A student who has satisfactorily completed academic work toward another Ph.D. program may not be required to complete comparable course work in a degree program, but will have to substitute the credits with course work approved by the major department. The degree process is not shortened by the completion of course work at another institution.
APPLICATION DECISIONS Q. How do I check on the status of my online application?
A. Our online application website at admissions.bus.wisc.edu permits you to track your application and allows you to see what is still missing. You also may see decision information when it becomes available. Please be aware that there may be a delay between receipt of materials and the updating of the system to show that application materials have been submitted. Please be patient.
