Business Administration DBA

The Doctor of Business Administration is a rigorous, three-year doctoral program for experienced professionals who wish to conduct meaningful, applied research while continuing their careers. The program blends advanced coursework, close faculty mentorship and a structured research journey focused on real-world organizational challenges.

DBA faculty are nationally recognized scholars and seasoned research mentors. Every professor teaching in the DBA program is tenured, with many holding the rank of full or chaired professor. Their work — supported by prestigious grants and awards from such organizations as the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Air Force — drives cutting-edge research and informs real-world decision-making at the highest levels of management.

The Doctor of Business Administration program is for experienced professionals ready to apply research at the highest levels of practice. Applicants must hold a completed bachelor’s degree. International applicants are also required to demonstrate English language proficiency through an official test score.

While professional experience is not mandatory, candidates with a master's degree or 10 or more years of meaningful work experience are strongly preferred.
