The first round of offers have been made for our PhD programs. Each Walton PhD program is very small thus making the admission process highly competitive and selective. We receive approximately 40 applications for each program yet will enroll only 2-4 students this fall (for a total of 16-18). PhD application deadline was January 15. DDF nomination deadline was February 1. The DDF selection process is completed at the University level, not within Walton College. Walton was fortunate enough to receive 5 DDF awards and 8 DAFs. Admitted Walton PhD students will receive a graduate assistantship (GA) of $17,000. The DDF provides an additional fellowship of $20,000 while the DAF provides $10,000. We do have a wait list. Once we hear back from the first round of offers, we then will make more offers or send denial letters to those not selected.
MIS deadline was February 1. The Department is reviewing applications now and will be making admissions decisions either this week or next. Late applications will be accepted; however, it is anticipated that all financial assistance will be awarded to those who applied by the deadline. The enrollment goal for MIS is 20-25.
MAcc application deadline is March 1. We have already admitted 18 students into next fall's Master of Accountancy program at the early decision deadline last September. The goal for this class is 40. Late applications will also be accepted but there will be no funding opportunities available for late applicants.
Final MBA numbers for spring 2010 were: 157 total application received (compared to 97 last year), 92 completed applications (compared to 70 for the last 2 years), 56 students were offered admission, and we enrolled 36. Early decision deadline for January 2011 is April 1. All those wanting financial assistance should apply by this date. We anticipate that all funding will be awarded during this first round of admissions. We have already received over 50 MBA applications for next year.
