 The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program serves the needs of
mature students, helping them to advance in their careers. The program is
designed to graduate scholar practitioners who will set the standard for
best practices and contribute to the solution of critical business and
management problems through research, teaching, and consulting. The
program is designed to serve the needs of both fully employed and
full-time students with a background as experienced business professionals
who want to translate their industry expertise into leadership positions as
consultants or as executives within their organizations. The program creates
an opportunity for the student to demonstrate application of the knowledge
and skills gained in the course work portion of the program and to
