DBA Course of Study
Our DBA courses are held on weeknights in the fall and spring. These courses will be offered in a “Hyflex” hybrid format, which can be taken in person, online, or any combination of the two. This means that you can take courses from anywhere.
We engage research-active, tenure track faculty. Most are tenured full professors and several are chaired professors. That status indicates both high quality and high quantity of research achievements. That is, faculty members have engaged in high quality research and have produced a high quality of that research. Those are the faculty members who can help you attain rigor in your own research. Most have received national or international awards and other recognitions for that research.
“The faculty have been excellent. Not only are they as knowledgeable as you would expect but they have also made themselves readily available to meet, answer questions or discuss practical applications of what we are learning.”
