The Accreditation Process for The National D.B.A. Society Accreditation Council consists of the following steps:

Application: The business school submits an online application form. The application form includes information about the business school’s mission, vision, goals, curriculum, faculty, students, resources, and outcomes.

Eligibility Review: The National D.B.A. Society Accreditation Council reviews the application and verifies the eligibility of the business school for accreditation. The eligibility criteria include:

• The business school must be legally authorized to operate and grant degrees in its jurisdiction.
• The business school must offer at least one undergraduate or graduate business program that is consistent with its mission and goals.

Self-Study Report: If the business school meets the eligibility criteria, it is invited to prepare and submit a self-study report within one year.
