The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program is the pinnacle of executive business education, crafted for seasoned professionals and ambitious leaders who aspire to drive significant organizational impact through evidence-based practice. Unlike an MBA, which focuses on applying existing business theories, the DBA empowers you to generate new knowledge and develop innovative solutions to complex, real-world business challenges.

This rigorous program delves into advanced research methodologies, critical analysis, and scholarly inquiry, enabling you to investigate contemporary business issues with academic depth. You’ll work closely with expert faculty, applying a practitioner-scholar approach to conduct original research that contributes both to academic understanding and practical application. The DBA culminates in a significant research project, such as a dissertation, where you’ll demonstrate your ability to identify, analyze, and propose solutions to a specific organizational or industry problem. This degree is ideal for those seeking to transition into high-level consulting, executive leadership, or a career as a university professor who brings invaluable real-world experience to the classroom.
