For a Ph.D. student who is admitted with a master\u2019s degree, a minimum of 60 credit hours is required on the Ph.D. degree plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admitted applicants who are still earning the prerequisite degree are admitted contingent on the completion of that degree. Applicants who do not meet this contingency must reapply after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-resume-nbsp\">R\u00e9sum\u00e9&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>R\u00e9sum\u00e9s should include your employment history, educational record, publications, awards, and any community\/volunteer experiences you may have. Please upload your resume to the <a href=\"https:\/\/texasam2023.liaisoncas.com\/applicant-ux\/#\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas A&amp;M GradCas System<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-statement-of-purpose\">Statement of Purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your statement of purpose should clearly demonstrate your interest in the program. Statements of purpose are used to gauge whether an applicant will be a good fit in the program based on research interests and prior experiences. We encourage you to identify faculty whose interests coincide with yours in your statement of purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should provide three letters of recommendation from individuals who are familiar with your academic achievement and potential. If you have been out of school for a number of years and are unable to contact former professors, you may submit non-academic references (e.g., employers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants can access the electronic letter of recommendation system available via the<a href=\"https:\/\/texasam2023.liaisoncas.com\/applicant-ux\/#\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Texas A&amp;M GradCas System<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-test-scores\">Test Scores<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ph.D. in construction science no longer requires GRE scores for admission. However, submitting GRE scores is strongly encouraged as a supplemental and supporting qualification, especially for applicants who do not provide a writing sample (e.g., a published paper, a research paper in progress, or any other evidence that can demonstrate the applicant&#8217;s excellence or potential for success in the Ph.D. program).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GRE scores should be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service to Texas A&amp;M University (GRE School Code 6003). You must have taken the test within five years of the date the application form reaches the Office of Admissions. Tests should be taken at least eight weeks prior to the appropriate application deadline to ensure timely receipt and processing of results. We will use your highest test score from one test date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copies of test scores are not considered official, but they may help the University locate your official test scores and are therefore useful when the application is processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-writing-sample\">Writing Sample<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent publication, report or writing sample is required to demonstrate your writing ability. The publication, report or writing sample should support your Statement of Purpose and clearly demonstrate research and\/or analytical skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please upload your writing sample to the <a href=\"https:\/\/texasam2023.liaisoncas.com\/applicant-ux\/#\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas A&amp;M GradCas System<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In addition to the university graduate admission requirements, the Ph.D. in Construction Science program requires the following.
