The Doctor of Business Administration, or DBA degree, is a research doctorate that’s equivalent to a Ph.D. DBA programs are ideal for the candidate who has already earned the MBA, the MSc, or a similar master’s degree, or has equivalent qualifications in general management research or a related field. The culmination of a DBA program is a dissertation or journal publication that makes a unique contribution to business theory or practice.
