Application process
You are ready to apply if you have:
When to apply
The application window opens 12 months prior to the intake term. The Admissions Committee waits until after the deadline to process applications and takes aproximately 10 weeks to send out their decisions.
You may start your online application at any time after the application window has opened and upload the admission requirements progressively as they become available to you (e.g., transcripts and TOEFL/IELTS results). Once all the requirements are uploaded to your application, it will be considered complete and, thus, ready for assessment by the Admissions Committee.
To start or continue on your application
Follow the step-by-step PhD in Business Administration application guide.
The Admission Committee will only begin assessing applications after the deadline.
After you’ve applied
Please allow our Admissions Team 4 to 6 weeks after the application deadline to process your application.
Check your application status, see which documents the university has received, and upload missing documents on your To Do List. You can also find the links to Check application status and Upload documents in the Student Hub's My CU Account. (Find the tab Admission Application in the left-hand column.)
Applicants may be interviewed on a case-by-case basis. The purpose of the interview is to complement the online application documents and to give the Program Director a better sense of the applicant’s qualifications and communications skills.
After getting admitted
Once you’ve received your letter of acceptance, please read it carefully for the information provided on next steps and any documentation requested of you (official transcripts, test results, etc.).
You will need to confirm our offer of acceptance by paying a $250 CAD deposit within the timeframe indicated in the letter of acceptance. The confirmation deposit will eventually be put towards your first tuition payment in the fall.
