To be admitted to an AIU doctoral program, an applicant must hold a Masters degree from AIU or an institution recognized by the AIU Senate. Beyond the possession of a Masters degree, the applicant must have a cumulative mean of at least a B, or a minimum GPA of 3.0 in his/her Masters studies, and must demonstrate ability in academic research. Specific program minimum requirements will apply.


In exceptional cases, Senate, on the recommendation of any of the schools, may admit to the doctorate program, applicants who do not hold a Master’s degree, provided that such candidates, on the basis of the research, professional and academic work they have done, can demonstrate that they are well qualified to undertake doctoral work.
