The Doctor of Business Administration program only admits for fall semesters.

  • Interview: After a candidate’s application is complete the Graduate Programs office will reach out to schedule an interview with selection committee.

GRE or GMAT Requirements

Because of the nature of the DBA and the level of experience (at least seven years) required of applicants, the GMAT or GRE is not required.

Application Deadline

The Doctor of Business Administration program admits on a rolling basis, meaning we will continue to admit students until we reach our enrollment cap. Anyone who applied after admissions has been closed will be invited to update the application to the next admissions cycle.

Selection Process

Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee comprising of faculty and the director of the DBA program. The admission decision will be based on a holistic review of several aspects of the application. Some of these include:

  • Managerial/executive experience
  • Capacity for conducting applied scholarship
  • Compatibility of professional goals with the objectives of the DBA program
  • Motivation and commitment
  • Master’s degree and previous coursework
  • Written and verbal communication skills
