Ph.D. Assistantships
Walton Graduate School recommends students interested in all Walton doctoral programs, except Accounting, consider taking the GRE for admission consideration. Fellowship nominations require an analytical writing score, and the GMAT exam has discontinued the writing section as of Fall 2023. Please contact GSB directly with any questions.
Forms of Funding
Most students admitted to a Walton College Ph.D. program receive funding. This funding comes in three forms: tuition waiver, graduate assistantship (GA), and stipend. Students work half-time (20 hours a week) teaching and/or conducting research. This financial assistance is renewable annually for a total of 4 years. Students are expected to maintain good academic standing.
