List of faculty eligible to advise UMSI PhD students
The PhD application deadline is December 1.
As you
may know, the application asks you to list 2-3 potential faculty advisers. I am writing with a resource that could be
helpful for this part of the application: a list
of faculty eligible to advise PhD students.
Please
review the full list of application requirements here.
Reminder:
To help
you learn more about the program, and to give you a chance to ask questions, we
will be hosting an online information
session for PhD prospective students Thursday, October 29 from
10:00-11:00 a.m. We’ll also soon be
posting a video of the doctoral presentation from Connect with UMSI, our
prospective student event.

Prospective student events & RSVP for Ann Arbor event
UMSI will be hosting two events in Ann Arbor to help prospective students learn about the school.
The event on Thursday, October 22 (held from 5:30-7:45 p.m.) will be a chance to learn about the programs, admissions, funding, and career development in a shorter version of our Saturday event.
The Saturday, October 24 event (1:30-5:00 p.m.) will be a bit more in-depth on each of the above topics - with a specific portion of the day dedicated to doctoral studies - and will allow you a chance to engage with faculty and current students, in addition to hearing from staff throughout the afternoon.
Both events will be held in Palmer Commons, just a short walk away from North Quad. In general, it is likely sufficient to attend only one of these events. Click here for more information and to RSVP.
The Master of Health Informatics program, joint between the School of Information and School of Public Health, will also hold an event for prospective students on October 24. Click here to learn more.
We will also be scheduling online information sessions for those of you we can't meet in-person. Keep an eye out for more information on those!
UMSI will also be at several fairs this fall. See our recruitment calendar below to see if we'll be at a location or fair near you!
If you'll be at one of these fairs, stop by and see us. If not, please remember you can always email umsi.admissions@umich.edu for more information about our graduate programs in Information.
