Admission Requirements
Prerequisites: Applicants should possess a master’s degree, ideally in Business Administration or a closely related field. Applicants must also have a minimum of three years of work experience.
Program’s Starting Date: Students accepted into the DBA program will begin their coursework in the Fall Semester.
Admission: Applicants are evaluated in a two-stage process
First stage applicants are initially screened based on:
- Bachelor's degree transcript.
- Master's degree transcript.
- Statement of Purpose
- A resume
Applicants advancing to the second stage will be required to schedule a personal interview (in-person or via zoom).
Letters of recommendation may be required if a definitive decision cannot be made on the basis of the application materials. A standardized test score (e.g. GMAT or GRE) and additional transcripts may be required if recommended by the Faculty Admissions Committee. The department considers all of these measures in deciding on admission.
Students participating in the online bilingual Mandarin and English Doctor of Business Administration, offered in partnership with Zhidao Education, will not be required to demonstrate English proficiency.
