am deeply indebted to the staff at IAU. Both the academic and non-academic staff at IAU were excellent and very prompt in responding to my needs. This is one of the reasons that I, being a candidate from many miles away in Sri Lanka, was able to complete the doctoral program on schedule.

The members of the faculty were very understanding, very encouraging, and above all extremely helpful. The study materials provided for course work were awesome. Although the weekly coursework was enjoyable, the research proposal and the final project were the most fulfilling aspects of the DBA program. Being a mature student, I was well-set when joining the program, but receiving my doctorate helped enhance my personality.
