Responsibilities:

The Admissions Committee is responsible for the graduate student admissions in the program. This committee will also develop contacts with other relevant graduate admissions committees with the goal of identifying potential candidates who would be more appropriate for the MBSB program. The admissions committee endeavors to identify applicants with the greatest likelihood of success in attaining the Ph.D. degree. Applicants to be interviewed or recruited are identified by the committee and, when possible, invited to visit Pittsburgh for an interview. In addition, the admissions committee tracks the success of the admissions process each year by maintaining a database of pertinent information on the applicants. This committee reviews admission requirements for the program annually. Recommendations for change in the standards for admission are made to the steering committee.
