Doctorate Programs
A master’s degree from an accredited institution
is generally required for admission. In the context of
this statement, “accredited” for institutions
within the United States requires they be a member of
an accrediting body recognized by the United States Department
of Education. Applicants with earned degrees from institutions
outside the United States must obtain an evaluation from
an approved evaluation service documenting that their
education is equivalent to a master’s degree from
an accredited institution in the United States.
An applicant may be conditionally admitted
into the Program based on a completed Application
for Admission, student copies of transcripts reflecting
the applicant’s highest relevant degree, documentation
of the applicant’s professional work experience, and
the receipt of two completed Doctoral Applicant Reference
Forms. Official copies of all relevant college level credits
received directly from the institution of origin will be
required within 60 days of enrollment.
While professional work experience is not
a condition of admission to the Program, applicants
need to provide evidence of any previous professional work
experience prior to formal admission. The vast majority
of the institution’s applicants are mature adults
working in a variety of professional settings. Many have
not attended college for several years. Consequently, prior
class rank and grade point average are not significant factors
in the admission process.
To apply for admission to the Program,
an applicant must complete the University’s Application
for Admission form and mail it to the Admissions Office
with a check in the amount of $75.00. It is not necessary
to submit official transcripts of prior college work at
the time of application. All applicants must include a résumé
or vita at the time of application.
Applications are generally reviewed weekly.
Should additional information be required the applicant
will be contacted. If the applicant is accepted for admission
to the Program, a formal enrollment agreement will be prepared and
sent to the applicant for review and signature. All payments
submitted for tuition and fees must be payable in U.S. dollars.
Payments may be made by MasterCard® / Visa® / American
Express® or personal/business check.
