10. Graduate Program Admission
Admissions policies are clearly articulated so that they can be understood by applicants and implemented consistently by those making the decisions. Applicant information used for admission decisions should be gathered systematically and used consistently. Admission decisions depend on many factors, including accrediting agencies’ requirements, societal factors such as the development of UAE nationals, student scholastic achievement, leadership experience, work record and other indices that may be related to academic and career success. The University follows its admission policies in making admission decisions. Admission policies include all factors considered in entry decisions and should be accessed and understood by all participants in the entry process. Admission policies should result in:
- Student body that supports the achievement of the UD mission.
- Higher retention rates.
- Higher timely graduation rates.
