Application Instructions
A complete application for graduate study at Syracuse University consists of the following:
1. Syracuse University Graduate Application Form. Please complete and scan and email it to the Defense Comptrollership Program. Your packet should include a signature on page 4. You must complete an Internal Admissions form for dual degree enrollment as part of the application process. Please put your name on line one and sign on line seven. We will fill in the remainder.
2. Official copies of your transcript will be sent electronically to Rebecca Lloyd.
3. Letters of Recommendation. At least two letters of recommendation are required for all Whitman School master's candidates. Recommendations should be obtained from those individuals who can speak to your qualifications for graduate study in management. While placement forms or personal letters are acceptable, they frequently provide less information than the committee desires. Please provide Rebecca Lloyd's email address (rclloyd01@syr.edu) to the person making the recommendation. If they prefer to mail the recommendation letter please request they sign their signature across the seal and send it to Rebecca Lloyd at the address above.
4. If applicable, please submit your official GMAT scorecard to the Whitman School/Defense Programs/MBA at Syracuse University. We cannot accept the “test taker” copy of the report.
Be sure to send your GMAT score to Defense Comptrollership Program code within Syracuse University's MBA choices.
5. Bio Request. The Defense Comptrollership Programs office will generate a class bio book for student/professor review.
6. Health Service Requirement. Syracuse University's Health Service Department requires all full-time enrolled students to provide proof of certain immunization records per New York State Law. Once officially admitted to Syracuse University and received your SUID number, you will need to upload your medical records to the University Health Services Patient Portal suhsportal.syr.edu.
**Military Students—your records do not usually show two MMR shots. You must show New York State that you have received two (often in records from childhood, high school, etc.).
