A master's degree is not required to apply to the DPS program.
Contact the Registrar's Office of each higher educational institution that you attended and have one copy of your transcript(s) sent to the Syracuse University Enrollment Management Processing Center. Address and submission instructions are below.
You do not need to send transcripts from secondary schools as part of this application.
We can consider your application with unofficial transcripts, but we recommend that you send official transcripts. If you choose to submit an unofficial transcript, all offers of admission from Syracuse University are conditional pending receipt of official academic credentials showing that a U.S. bachelor's degree (or equivalent) has been conferred upon you.
In 1000 words or fewer, tell us about yourself as a prospective colleague, addressing both A and B aspects of your candidacy.
A) What do you want to study? What led you to this area of the intellectual landscape? Why it is important? What do you know about this topic from the perspectives of both a practitioner and an aspiring academic? Why do you believe the Syracuse University School of Information Studies is the best place to pursue this inquiry?
B) What do you bring, and look for in your peers, as a member of a cohort-based thesis-writing enterprise? (We are not looking for teamwork in the typical military or business sense here, but you most definitely will need to help, and be helped by, your classmates to achieve what you are signing up for.) Also, tell us something about your personal grit and determination, traits that are essential for any individual seeking a doctorate via remote learning while maintaining personal and professional responsibilities.

If you are not a native English speaker and do not have a degree from a U.S. institution, you are required to take the TOEFL or IELTS exam.
