Consistent with Baker College’s mission, the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program serves the needs of working adults, helping them to advance in their careers through quality graduate education.  The program is designed to graduate scholar practitioners who will set the standard for best practice and contribute to the solution of critical business and management problems through research, teaching, and consulting.

The program builds on an effective combination of courses, seminars, professional residencies, research papers, and a final dissertation.  Working with faculty members, who have extensive academic and practical experiences, students gain a comprehensive understanding of critical foundation theories and the ability to immediately apply creative solutions to existing problems.

To be admitted into the program, an MBA degree or equivalent and a minimum of 5 years professional experience in business or management is required.
