Introduction to Doctor of Business Administration

The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is a professional practice doctorate and is concerned with researching real business and managerial issues via the critical review and systematic application of appropriate theories and research to professional practice. This program will help candidates develop proficiency in applied research by improving their methodological and analytical skills. Participants who successfully complete the program will be equipped for top-level positions in numerous sectors including business/public administration, consulting and higher education.

The Doctor of Business Administration program offers a state of-the-art curriculum delivered by experienced, highly qualified professors. Our students are one of the program's greatest strengths. Typical DBA students come from successful careers in top positions in the private, nonprofit, and government sectors. They bring their experiences and knowledge to the classroom and, in turn, demand incisive instruction and intelligent, well-developed classroom discussions. For the dissertation, students conduct original research on a topic of current importance and personal interest.
