REQUIREMENTS AND POLICIES
Because Cambridge Intercontinental University is a non-traditional educational institution, admission to the University is based on a non-traditional evaluation process.
Traditional admission requirements (grades, examination, etc.) often do not take into account the mature adult's personal motivation and intellectual capacity for the successful completion of an alternative degree
program.
The admissions process at Cambridge Intercontinental University is therefore a personalized one. The major question asked of the learner requesting admission to Cambridge Intercontinental
University is whether he/she has the maturity and professional background to complete work in the chosen degree program. This is assessed through the autobiographical statement written by the candidate, recommendations,
transcripted credits transferred from other institutions, work experiences, training, licenses, seminars the candidate has completed and other such evidence of personal growth and development.
UNDERGRADUATE
To be admitted as an undergraduate student an applicant must be a high school graduate, have earned an equivalency diploma or demonstrated the ability to pursue college level study. Because
Cambridge Intercontinental University does not generally offer lower division courses, learners should have completed all lower division courses elsewhere or have the life/work experiences that are assessed as
equivalent to required general studies courses.
In exceptional cases, a student may be admitted who needs to complete the general studies program. Such exceptions are made only with the approval of the Dean of
Academic Affairs.
GRADUATE
To be admitted as a graduate learner, an applicant must have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from a college or university acceptable to the academic
administration. In very special circumstances and with the approval of the Dean, a person without an undergraduate degree, who can show evidence of ability to pursue graduate study, may be admitted as a provisional
graduate learner. There will be no admittance to the doctoral program without an acceptable master's degree or its equivalent in transcripted credits and/or in-depth career experience.
Students, who plan to earn
a degree from Cambridge Intercontinental University and then plan to transfer to another college or university, are encouraged to contact that school in advance, as CIU degrees may not be transferable.
The
University's degree programs are not designed to meet any particular licensing or credentialing laws. If you are seeking a degree for licensing purposes, CIU advises that you check with the licensing body or association
to determine if a degree from Cambridge Intercontinental University is acceptable.
