What’s the difference between a Ph.D. and the DBA?
The Ph.D. program prepares students for a career in a research-intensive university, with a focus on academic and theoretical research. The Ph.D. degree does not have a set time for completion, but typically students complete the degree in 5 to 6 years. The DBA program is intended for business leaders who are interested in research with a passion for academic pursuits, and for academics who do not have a doctoral degree. The DBA is a cohort program and is designed to be completed in two years.
