We are now accepting online preliminary applications.

There are two stages to the application process:

The PhD Program in Business Administration offers seven fields of study. Admission targets for each field are set at the beginning of each cycle. Students can only apply to one field of study and must indicate their chosen specialization on their application. Students are required to attend the program full-time in six of the fields. Part-time applications are accepted for the Health Management field. The program has a two-stage application process:

• Preliminary application form
• Formal application package

To apply, first read the application requirements. Then follow the instructions on the application procedures page. If you have any questions during the process, please email phdinfo@mcmaster.ca.

All applicants submit a preliminary application which is reviewed by the PhD office. Preliminary applications are accepted until all our positions are filled. If your preliminary application is approved, you’ll be invited to submit a formal application.

Visit the application procedure page for more information.
