  closely related field.  Again, a record of academic accomplishment is expected.
• Have demonstrated success in the operation of a business, not-for-profit organization, or government agency.

  selecting this particular program, and how the candidate’s background has prepared the applicant for success in the program and the business world after graduation.

  payable to “the University of North America”) in U.S. currency.

  materials.
