PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
   Doctor of Business Administration program is designed for experienced business professionals who want to translate    their    industry expertise into leadership positions as consultants or as executives within their organizations. The goal of the    Doctor of Business Administration program is to prepare leaders for top-level positions for industry, government, and    education and to provide these leaders with a breadth and depth of knowledge that is supported by the ability to    effectively address real world issues. On completion of the program, the doctoral graduate will be able to provide    real- world based leadership that is grounded in the latest theories to a wide range of business entities in the international    marketplace. Further, graduates will be able to clearly and effectively articulate their approach and findings to both a    technical and a lay audience in both written and oral forms.

   Depending on the student’s academic preference, one of two tracks must be chosen. Both tracks require a doctoral    research methods course and a proposal for either Track I: Doctoral Project or Track II: Dissertation. The proposal    course creates an opportunity for the student to demonstrate application of the knowledge and skills gained in the course    work portion of the program and demonstrate the critical thinking and analytical skills required to successfully complete    the   Doctoral Project or Dissertation.
