Doctorate Program Requirements

Applicants who wish to be considered for doctorate studies should normally possess a recognized graduate degree or equivalent qualifications approved by Newport University.

To be considered for admission to a Newport University graduate program, applicants must meet the following requirements:

  • Undergraduate degree from a recognized university with a B average or better in the last year of the program.
  • Work experience, managing people or projects.
  • Official post secondary transcripts from all institutions attended must be submitted.

International Applicants

Official transcripts must be sent to Newport University. Official transcripts are those that have been sent from the institution directly to the university. Official transcripts must also be sent to the California University Foreign Credential Evaluation (CUFCE), USA for evaluation and validation.

Because this is a necessary step for all International Students prior to formal admission to the university, applicants should apply to CUFCE as soon as possible. There will be a Document Evaluation Fee.

For information regarding fees and the evaluation process see the CUFCE.
