The University of Oklahoma's Steed School of Accounting evaluates each applicant individually in order to select for admission those applicants who appear to have the proper aptitude, scholarship, and analytical skills necessary to successfully complete an advanced degree. The following materials are required in order to be considered for admission:

Transcript of all undergraduate and graduate coursework.
Scores on the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) (To insure that these scores are current, the exam should have been taken in the last two years)
Three letters of recommendation
Scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Test of Spoken English (TSE) for applicants from non-English speaking nations
Statement of your reasons for pursuing a Doctorate in Accounting and why you chose to apply to the University of Oklahoma.

Strong applicants are invited to campus for a personal interview which is an important element of the selection process. The application deadline is February 1. Applications after this date will be considered on a space available basis.

GMAT, GPA and TOEFL Expectations

The Steed School of Accounting does not have specific admission requirements (e.g. minimum GMAT scores). Rather, the School of Accounting PhD Committee comprised of members of the graduate accounting faculty recommends admission on the basis of the total application. Applicants are preferred to have a GMAT score of at least 650, a GPA of at least 3.50, and TOEFL score (if applicable) of 105/250/620 depending on the exam format. In recent years, entering students have had an average GMAT score of 700 and GPA of 3.8. The admissions committee will consider special circumstances.
