D.B.A. & Ph.D. Program for International Students

Geography is not a barrier to values-driven executives who wish to pursue their
Ph.D. or D.B.A. at Benedictine University.

Each cohort of our program to date has had at least one international student, coming from Canada, Mexico, Europe and Africa. Likewise, our sister program, Benedictine University’s Ph.D. program in Organization Development, has enrolled students from throughout Central and South America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.

Because of our program’s unique weekend-based structure, most students live in their home countries and commute only for class weekends. Some others do relocate to the Chicago are for the two years of coursework, and then return to their home countries to complete their dissertations.

Completing an international application does have a few extra requirements. Find an application and checklist at cvdl.ben.edu/application and contact us early, at cvdl@ben.edu, to begin the process.

“If you are a person interested in values and you are convinced that values are meaningful not only for your personal life but also for your business, living this program is going to be an amazing experience in every single moment. Every minute of a class, every instructor you meet, any paragraph of any reading is going to be a total treasure. It seems to me that there is no other place in the world where there has been deployed so much academic effort with so many talented people and so much experience in order to create a process designed not only to enhance your leadership but your whole life.” -Enrique Lopez, Founder & President, Humanum.
