Only students who intend to work toward the Ph.D. degree will be considered for the Program. An undergraduate major in a related field may also be deemed acceptable at the discretion of the admissions committee. Interested applicants may contact the Program prior to submission of application material to verify if a particular field may be considered in lieu of the above. The GRE results are but one factor in determining acceptance to the Program, and they are critical in the determination of certain grants and fellowships granted on a competitive university wide basis. The exact expenses within a given year will vary somewhat, depending on the institution of registration and particular needs.
Fees are subject to change.
Because of the higher tuition at the University for students who are not residents of California, a student is ordinarily advised to register with the GTU for the first year of residence. Students who apply to the program will also receive forms and information on various institution wide competitive fellowships. These forms should be filled out and returned with application materials. Those applicants who are accepted and are deemed competitive for such grants will have the forms submitted to the institution by the Program's admissions and grants committee.
