Admissions Requirements

Applicants should generally have a Master’s degree prior to their enrollment, though outstanding applicants with only a baccalaureate degree may also be considered. Admission is not restricted to students with prior course work in Public Administration. The program encourages applicants with diverse academic backgrounds, with preference given to those with grounding in the policy or administrative sciences. Applicants should ideally demonstrate knowledge of American political institutions and fundamentals of social research methods.

If you are interested in applying to the Ph.D. program please visit FIU's Graduate Admissions website to complete the online application.

The application materials required are as follows:

1.FIU Application for Doctoral Programs (completed online)

2.Transcripts (applicant should demonstrate excellence in prior academic work by an earned GPA of 3.5 or better in both undergraduate and graduate degrees from regionally accredited institutions)

3.GRE scores (applicant is expected to have 60 percentile scores in verbal and quantitative sections; FIU’s institutional code is 5206). The GRE requirement has been waived for the Fall 2022 admissions cycle.

4.A personal statement describing the applicant’s background, career goals, and the reasons for pursuing a Ph.D. in Public Affairs; the statement should also indicate how the applicant’s research and career interests fit with those of current faculty

5.A current resume

6.Three references using the Graduate Admission's recommendation form included in the graduate application; two references should preferably be from academics

7.At least one writing sample

Students are generally admitted only for the Fall term. Although the FIU online application system allows for other semesters, the Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs does not encourage such admission. Spring or Summer admissions will only be considered under special circumstances. All students living in the South Florida area are strongly encouraged to interview with the Ph.D. Director during the admissions process. Telephone interviews may be arranged for students living outside a 50-mile radius. Foreign applicants must demonstrate proficiency in the English language by presenting a minimum score of a 100 on the TOEFL iBT, which is equivalent to 600 on the paper-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL PBT). If applicants take the language proficiency assessment administered by the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), a minimum score of 7.0 is desirable.

Doctoral Degree Requirements

To fulfill the Ph.D. degree in Public Affairs, admitted students must complete at least 63 credit hours beyond the Master’s degree or its equivalent (75 total credits). The credit hours include 48 hours of approved course work (including comprehensive examination) and 15 hours of dissertation work after admission to candidacy. In addition, there is a residency requirement of at least 18 semester hours in three consecutive semesters of study during the first year of enrollment, and a minimum of six hours in all subsequent semesters. Successful completion of course work and passing scores on the comprehensive examination are required in order for students to advance to Ph.D. candidacy and present a dissertation proposal. Students are advised to consult the doctoral program handbook for any additional information regarding benchmarks for student progress in grade point average, course completion, comprehensive examinations, and dissertation work. Admitted students may transfer a maximum of 12 semester credits from other institutions towards Ph.D. degree requirements, subject to the approval of the Ph.D. Program Committee. Admitted students must demonstrate competence in the following areas: American political economy, advanced statistical and qualitative research methods, international development administration, organizational theory and design, and local economic development and urban management. The Program Director may assign specific coursework to students with deficiencies in any of the above mentioned areas.

Program of Study (Public Affairs)

The Ph.D. program in Public Affairs is a 63 credit hours program (beyond a master's degree). Of this, 48 hours are for coursework as follows: seven principal core courses (21 credit hours), two flexible core courses (6 credit hours), five specialization elective courses (15 credit hours), and a comprehensive examination (six credit hours). The remaining 15 credit hours are for Ph.D. dissertation work. During the first semester of the program, with the assistance and approval of the Program Director, students are required to select a faculty advisor who is a full-time faculty member relevant to the student’s area of research interest. By the end of the first year, students are required to develop a program of study with the assistance and approval of their advisor and the Program Director.
