Admission to the program is competitive and the attainment of a specific set of minimum qualifications does not assure admission. Instead, admission is granted to the candidates deemed to be most qualified to achieve success. In general, applicants must: - Hold a master's degree or equivalent in business administration from an accredited college or university with a GPA of 3.3 or higher. Students with an out-of-field master's degree will be required to complete the prerequisite foundation coursework before starting the DBA Program.
- Take the GMAT and achieve an acceptable score.
- Have accumulated 5 years of experience in an appropriate managerial position in a corporate, governmental or non-profit organization.
- Take TOEFL or IELTS if native language is not English. The minimum acceptable performance is 450 on the written TOEFL or 200 on the computerized version. Minimum acceptable IELTS is 6.0. The TOEFL/IELTS requirement may be waived for those international students who have completed their degrees at a recognized U.S. university.
- Provide three professional letters of recommendation.
- Provide a statement (500 words or less) indicating the applicant's chief academic interest, strengths and limitations, reasons for selecting the DBA program, and for choosing WCU.
- Provide a professional resume.
- Complete an interview (diagnostic evaluation) with the DBA Program Director and/or the DBA Program Committee.
Applicants who have exceptional merit but do not meet all admission criteria may be admitted under special circumstances determined by the Admissions Committee. Applicants who meet the admission requirements, but whose supporting documentation (e.g. academic transcripts) are still pending may be admitted conditionally.
