ResumeA current résumé or CV detailing your professional experience, regardless of employment status, is required.

Additional documentation may be required for non-US academic institutions, such as marksheet and diploma. For such institutions, please review these guidelines from Temple University’s Graduate School.   
Letters of RecommendationAt least one letter of Recommendation is required. Our Doctoral programs require two letters. Professional references from an immediate supervisor, current or past, are preferred. Academic references are acceptable.  
Within the application, enter your reference’s contact information. References are then invited to upload their letters of recommendation. We encourage you to submit your application while waiting for recommendations to be completed.

• What past experiences prepared or motivated you to pursue this degree? 
• How would you expect to change over the course of the program? 
• What personal and professional values and skills do you hope to acquire beyond the academic content? 
• How will obtaining this degree help you achieve your career goals?
Standardized Test ScoresIf you believe a test score would complement or strengthen your application, please request a test score report to be sent to Temple University (GRE: 2906 / GMAT: 72S3T52). Official scores must be reported from a GMAT or GRE test taken within the last five years. Please consult an admissions advisor with any questions.
English Language Exam
(as needed) 
A test score of academic English, such as the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic, or Duolingo test, is required if you have not earned a bachelor’s or graduate (master’s or doctoral) degree from a U.S. institution. Test scores must be reported by the testing service to Temple University within two years of the test date. 
Reported scores for a standardized test of English should meet these minimums:
– TOEFL iBT: 79
– IELTS Academic: 6.5
– Duolingo: 110
– PTE Academic: 68
Waiver Eligibility Note that if you earned your undergraduate or graduate degree from a country in which English is a commonly used language, this requirement may be waived. The admissions department automatically reviews for waiver eligibility at application submission with review of your academic history. Learn more about international application.
