THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION ARE AS FOLLOWS: Students admitted into the DBA program must demonstrate evidence of their ability to pursue graduate level work at the doctoral level. Thus, students are required to possess a Master s degree in the discipline of Business Administration, Management or related areas. The degree must be from CIBU, an institution either accredited by a regional or national association recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, or a foreign school/licensed/regulated by the appropriate oversight agency in the country of origin. Foreign degrees will be reviewed to determine if they meet the necessary academic requirements. Students lacking a Master s degree, though having its academic equivalent in appropriate course work, may petition the Academic Vice-President or designee for admission. If a deficiency exists in a student s background preparation, CIBU will require further preparatory coursework on a case-by-case basis, using credential evaluation results and proficiency exams administered and graded by faculty within functional discipline areas. 1. Complete and sign the Application for Admission. (Can be found on our homepage www.cibu.edu.) 2.
