A current résumé or CV detailing your professional experience, regardless of employment status, is required. 

Temple University requires transcripts from each academic institution from which you earned credit for coursework. Copies of transcripts may be used during the admissions process; however, Temple University requires officials of any admitted student. Additional documentation may be required for non-US academic institutions, such as marksheet and diploma. For such institutions, please review these  guidelines from Temple University’s Graduate School.

At least two letters of recommendation are required. Professional references from an immediate supervisor, current or past, are preferred. Academic references are acceptable. Within the application, enter your reference’s contact information. References are then invited to upload their letters of recommendation. We encourage you to submit your application while waiting for recommendations to be completed.

The Decision Neuroscience PhD program requires either submission of the GMAT or the GRE taken within the last five years. Copies of score reports may be used during the admissions process; however, Temple University requires official test scores of any admitted student (GRE: 2906 / GMAT: 72S3T52).

A test score of academic English, such as the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic, or Duolingo test, is required if you have not earned a bachelor’s or graduate (master's or doctoral) degree from a U.S. institution. Test scores must be reported by the testing service to Temple University within two years of the test date.

Waiver eligibility: If you earned your undergraduate or graduate degree from a country in which English is a commonly used language, this requirement may be waived. The admissions department automatically reviews for waiver eligibility at application submission with review of your academic history.
