Admission Requirements<\/h2>\n

Prerequisites:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Applicants should possess a master\u2019s degree, ideally in Business Administration or a closely related field. Applicants must also have a minimum of three years of work experience. Exceptional applicants holding a bachelor's degree in business or a related field who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their industry or have successfully led entrepreneurial ventures, may be considered for admission to the DBA program without requiring a master's degree.<\/p>\n

Program\u2019s Starting Date:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Students accepted into the DBA program will begin their coursework in the Fall Semester.<\/p>\n

Admission:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Applicants are evaluated in a two-stage process<\/p>\n

First stage<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0applicants are initially screened based on:<\/p>\n

    \n\t
  1. A master\u2019s degree transcript evaluated as equivalent to a U.S. master\u2019s degree. A bachelor's degree transcript, equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, may also be requested.<\/span><\/li>\n\t
  2. Statement of Purpose<\/span><\/li>\n\t
  3. A resume<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Applicants advancing to\u00a0the second stage<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0will be required to schedule a personal interview (in-person or via zoom).<\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    See the Catalog Addendum for additional information regarding updated admissions requirements.<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n
