Achieve Professional and Academic Success
The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program will enhance the knowledge and skills that are essential to managing, leading, and mentoring in a contemporary business environment. The program will develop an understanding of current management models and theories including those issues facing leaders in the expanding global business environment. The DBA helps students develop the critical knowledge and skills that are essential to successful careers in business management, consulting, and higher education in business.
A Practical Alternative
The DBA program is designed to analyze current business and managerial issues that provide students with knowledge and skills that can be used daily in a business environment. In contrast to the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), which places more emphasis on the development of new knowledge and theoretical perspectives, the Doctor of Business Administration is a practitioner’s degree that develops skills that are immediately applicable.
Convenient Scheduling For Busy Executives
Wilmington University caters to students with full-time careers and a busy lifestyle. The DBA program will utilize classes that meet only once a week, and in a format that will include both classroom and online instruction. The program will use a “hybrid” course teaching format with about half of the typical classroom instruction time replaced with online instruction.
