Applying for a Doctoral Program
Start Your Application
Manage Your Application
A Doctorate is the highest academic degree awarded by universities in most fields of study. It involves several years of rigorous research, culminating in a dissertation that contributes new knowledge to the field. Doctoral candidates work closely with a faculty advisor to explore and answer complex questions, often pushing the boundaries of what is known.
Applying to a doctoral program is like applying for a job. This process requires more diligence and patience than applying for a Master’s degree. To stand out from a competitive pool of candidates, you must prepare a strong application that includes your academic achievements, any related research experience, and a clear statement of your research interests and goals. Be sure to demonstrate your passion, fit for the program, and your interest in RIT.
Explore our doctoral programs
For details on the exact application requirements for your program, visit the Application Details section on your degree page and thoroughly review the graduate application instructions page .
Identifying a potential faculty research advisor(s) and research interest areas in your Statement of Purpose for Research is important. It is not necessary to secure a faculty advisor(s) in order to submit your application.
Here are avenues for your research:
Align Research Interests
Ensure your research interests align with those of potential advisors. This alignment is crucial for a productive and supportive mentoring relationship. Review faculty members' recent publications and current projects to understand their focus areas. Visit the program page to learn about the current research for your program.
Use RIT’s “Find an Expert” Tool
Utilize RIT’s Find an Expert tool to identify faculty members with specific expertise. This resource can help you narrow down potential advisors based on your research interests. You may also want to use Google Scholar and search for RIT faculty.
Explore RIT’s Faculty Directory
Start by exploring the RIT Faculty Directory to find faculty members whose research aligns with your interests. This directory provides detailed profiles, including research areas, publications, and contact information.
Explore our Research Centers and Institutes:
RIT is home to a diverse array of research centers and institutes that drive innovation across various fields. These centers provide state-of-the-art facilities and collaborative environments to support groundbreaking research. Explore our extensive list of research centers and institutes
Reach Out to Potential Advisors
Once you’ve identified potential advisors, you may choose to reach out to them with a well-crafted email. This is not required but encouraged. Introduce yourself, briefly explain your research interests, and express why you’re interested in their work. Attach your CV and any relevant documents. Be respectful of their time and follow up if you don’t hear back within a couple of weeks. Do pay attention if it is documented that a faculty advisor is not taking on new students.
Doctoral students typically receive full tuition and an RIT Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA) or Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) that will pay a stipend for the academic year. There is not a separate application process for scholarship and assistantship consideration
Assistantships and Stipends
Research and teaching assistantships provide valuable experience and come with stipends that help cover living expenses during the school year, such as room and board.
Summer Support Some programs are able to offer stipend support during the summer. Eligibility for summer funding will be determined by the graduate advisor and/or program director.
Funding Throughout Program Funding throughout your doctoral program will depend on your satisfactory academic and research performance. Students are expected to fulfill their assistantship duties responsibly and make satisfactory progress towards their degree. It is expected that starting your second year, funding will be provided from your college either through a Teaching Assistantship or by your graduate advisor from external funds.
Student Fees Full-time students are responsible for both Student Activity and Student Health Services fees. In addition, RIT expects that all students will have health care insurance. Learn more about student fees
Timing and Distribution of Stipends
Graduate Research Assistants and Graduate Teaching Assistants receive a semi-monthly stipend payment starting a few weeks after the initial enrollment term. For U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents, no taxes are withheld at the time the payment is made. However, students are encouraged to file estimated tax payments quarterly. Detailed information about the timing and distribution of stipends will be provided by your academic department.
Financial Document Submission
Doctoral applicants are not required to submit financial documents as part of the application process. Focus on showcasing your academic and research potential without the added stress of financial documentation. If you are admitted, you will receive funding notification with your admission offer and international students who require a student visa will be assisted through the I-20 process.
Doctoral Student Association
The Doctoral Student Association provides an inviting environment that brings students together to encourage collaborative work. Doctorate students collaborate to produce high-quality journal publications and conference presentations in a friendly and encouraging environment. The group also provides information about professional and social activities to help produce well-rounded graduate students.

What is the difference between a doctorate and a master’s degree?
Understanding the differences between a doctorate (Ph.D.) and a master's (M.S.) degree program is crucial in making an informed decision. While a master's program typically focuses on advancing your knowledge and skills in a specific area, a doctorate emphasizes original research and developing new theories or applications.
Can I go from a Bachelor’s degree to a Doctorate? Do I need a Master’s degree first?
Yes, you can go directly from a Bachelor's degree (BS) to a Doctorate program. You are not required to get a master’s degree before pursuing a Doctorate. This pathway can be a strategic choice depending on your career goals and readiness for advanced research.
May I have an application fee waiver?
The $65 application fee covers the management and processing of your record and admission materials. If you are unable to pay our application fee due to financial hardship, we encourage you to carefully consider the expenses associated with graduate study before applying.
Is there a set GPA requirement for being considered for a doctoral program at RIT?
Admitted doctoral students typically have a GPA of 3.0 or above. If it is lower, you will not necessarily be eliminated from consideration. You are welcome to apply. The Admissions Committee will consider your complete application when making a decision.
Do I need to provide GRE or GMAT scores ?
Requirements vary by program. Refer to your doctoral program page or the deadlines and requirements table for details. For programs that require test scores, we do not state minimum GRE or GMAT scores. Official scores should be sent to RIT directly from the testing agency using Institute code 2760.
What are the English language test score requirements? As an international student do I need to submit scores?
An official score report for the TOEFL, IELTS Academic, PTE Academic exam, or RIT English Language Proficiency Test is required of all international applicants who are not eligible for a waiver. We do not accept letters from your college or university indicating "English proficiency" or letters indicating courses were taught in English in place of official English language test scores. We do not accept Duolingo scores. See the “English Language Test Requirements” section in the Application Materials section of the Application Instructions for full details.
Do I need to have authored research papers to apply for admission to a doctoral degree?
No, you do not need published research papers to apply for a doctoral degree. A majority of admitted students do not have prior experience authoring research papers. However, admission to a doctoral degree is very competitive, and having published research papers helps strengthen your application.
How many students apply for doctoral study, and how many are admitted?
Admission to an RIT doctoral program is highly competitive. The number of applications received and the number of fully funded opportunities are limited and vary from year to year and by program.
Will the stipend fully cover living costs in the US?
The stipend should cover modest living expenses (housing and food), fees (student activity fee and health services fee), and costs for books, supplies, and some personal expenses. However, each student differs in their preferred living styles and their relative expenses. Doctoral students are permitted to take on other part-time employment so long as it does not interfere with their doctoral work (international students are only able to work on campus, for a total of 20 hours per week including their research positions). On-campus opportunities can be found through Career Connect .
Do doctoral students need to have personal finances available upon arriving at RIT?
Though our Ph.D. is fully funded, students do need to have their own funds available for travel and arrival in the US and to get settled in Rochester immediately upon entering the program. Please be sure to keep this in mind as you consider applying and your finances. If admitted, your first payment/stipend would not be until a few weeks into the program, so you will need to have a foundation of funds available for housing and other living expenses before that.
Is funding throughout the program guaranteed?
Your full tuition and assistantship stipend responsibilities will be determined by your graduate advisor and/or program director. It is our expectation that you will fulfill your duties responsibly and make satisfactory progress towards your degree. Funding in future years will depend on your satisfactory academic and research performance. It is expected that starting your second year, funding will be provided from your college either through a Teaching Assistantship or by your graduate advisor from external funds.

On a crisp autumn day in 1950, Josei Toda revealed his vision for a university rooted in the principles of value-creating education to his 22-year-old protégé, Daisaku Ikeda.
Thirty-seven years after that conversation, Soka University Los Angeles, a branch campus of Soka University in Japan, opened in Calabasas with the goal of developing into an independent university. After receiving degree-granting approval from the state of California in 1994, the university changed its name to Soka University of America to be distinguished as a freestanding independent institution separate from Soka University in Japan and opened a graduate school.
In the three decades since, Soka Graduate School has graduated more than 150 students from around the world. It has offered an M.A. program in Second and Foreign Language Education; held more than 50 speaking engagements in the “Human Rights Lecture Series,” including Coretta Scott King, Arun Gandhi, and Dr. Cornel West; rolled out the University Bridge Program at the Calabasas campus; and launched a new M.A. program in Educational Leadership and Societal Change.
“Our journey as a university from Calabasas to Aliso Viejo has been guided by the enduring principles of value-creating education practiced by Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, Josei Toda, and Daisaku Ikeda,” SUA President Ed Feasel said in a message commemorating the anniversary. “Their commitment to fostering global citizens who advance peace, uphold human rights, and champion the dignity of life continues to guide our mission today.”
In celebration of the Graduate School’s growth and accomplishments and to recommit to its founding principles, more than 120 Graduate School Alumni Association (Soseikai) members and their families gathered at SUA from July 26-29 under the theme “Return for the Future: Connect with the Values of Soka.” Spanning the classes of 1995 to 2024, the 30th anniversary celebration and reunion included Soseikai members who traveled from around the world to participate, including from Brazil, Israel, and Russia.
The Soseikai board of representatives began the planning process last fall. Through numerous brown-bag lunch meetups, online mixers, and planning meetings, alumni organizers got to know each other and created an atmosphere heading into the reunion that encouraged honest dialogue.
“Creative efforts were made to involve as many alumni as possible, both in preparation and during the reunion, to include and represent diverse voices,” said Hiroko Tomono Furniss M.A. ’96, director of the Ikeda Library at SUA and member of the Soseikai board.
Such efforts include the mentorship program launched by the Soseikai to form new bonds between alumni volunteers and alumni-to-be mentees, along with the decision to make the reunion as inviting and inclusive as possible for the 40 children of alumni who attended, half of whom were teenagers. Although many kids were meeting each other for the first time, they played volleyball, made bracelets, sunbathed by the pool, posed at a photobooth, and marveled at the night sky from the Nieves Observatory. They also enjoyed a campus tour and met with Office of Admission staff, who answered their questions about academics and life on campus.
Forging new connections and reflecting on shared journeys were central themes throughout the reunion. President Feasel, Graduate School Dean Tomoko Takahashi, and mentorship program participants shared inspiring stories from the past and exciting visions for the future during the opening ceremony. Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury sent a heartfelt video recalling the first World Summit of Educators led by the Graduate School classes of 2016 and 2017. The reunion also included small group dialogues where alumni shared personal stories and future hopes, and lightning talks led by alumni on lifelong learning, the balance between nature and humanity, and using social media for global impact.
“The graduate school 30 year reunion was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones,” said Joe Howard M.A. ’95. The word “magical” came up often as alumni reflected on their time together, capturing a feeling that they left the reunion renewed and with a stronger sense of purpose to lead contributive lives in their respective arenas.
Recognizing all the work it required to plan the three-day event, many attendees wrote letters of appreciation to the reunion planners and behind-the-scenes staff. Maria Sanchez M.A. ’06 said the reunion was a beautiful reflection of Ikeda’s vision of nurturing a network of dedicated educators who embody the values of global citizenship.
“I am deeply grateful to everyone who paved the way and to those who organized such a meaningful and heartfelt gathering,” Sanchez said. “I will cherish the inspiring moments shared with my fellow graduates.”
A new website and panel exhibit also debuted as the reunion was getting underway. The exhibit, which is now viewable in the lobby of the Soka Performing Arts Center, explores the Graduate School’s rich history, its founding principles, and the wide-ranging global impact of Soka education. Through a series of 16 panels, visitors follow the path of SUA’s inception in Calabasas to its development into a leading American institution of higher education that empowers students to excel academically and live contributive lives.
Serving as a digital companion to the exhibit, the 30th anniversary website provides a thoughtful look at the university’s growth and evolution. The site includes a message from President Feasel, a video that walks viewers through key milestones, emphasizing the values of peace, human rights, and the dignity of life that have guided the institution since its founding. An interactive timeline highlights significant events, such as the launch of the Pacific Basin Research Center, the Graduate School’s new M.A. program, and Ikeda’s dialogues with global leaders.
While reflecting on the university’s 30-year commitment to fostering global citizens, both the exhibit and the website reaffirm the principles that will continue to shape its future.

Emily Calandrelli is a West Virginia native and West Virginia University graduate who will soon make her way into space.
She's known as the 'space gal' for her love for space exploration and for her Netflix show ‘Emily's Wonder Lab.’
She has also written several books and was even featured on Bill Nye's science show.
Now, as a science communicator and advocate for women in STEM, she is in line to go to space on the New Shepard for Blue Origin, if she can cover the cost of the flight.
"One of the ways I'm doing that is with Marshall University and I'm working with them to highlight accessible education because they have a program called Marshall for All, Marshall Forever, where they cover students’ tuition so they can graduate from Marshall debt free."
She'll be championing accessible education throughout her flight experience.
There will be six crewmates with her in the capsule. She chose this career in high school to find a good paying job that could provide for her family. In college, she fell in love with it.
"I flew on something called the Vomit Comet in college that helped show me my love of space exploration and I was able to float weightless like an astronaut,” Calandrelli said. “What college kid wouldn’t love that!? And that’s how my interest in the space industry, specifically, began."
Despite not having anyone in her family in engineering - and being one of few women to graduate from her engineering class - she says she's persevered.
Through her continued work online and on TV she hopes to inspire the next generation of kids in Appalachia.
"I credit a lot of the work ethic I've been able to apply to my career to being from West Virginia because I think that is something that is so common among people who live in Appalachia, who live in West Virginia. I hope that the West Virginia kids are following me online or reading my books or watching my TV show can see a little of themselves in me, too.”
