The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programme is developed to help create strategic and research-oriented leaders who will be able to solve complex business problems using applied research and making ethical decisions.

Programme Overview

The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is an advanced professional doctorate intended primarily to mature managers, business people, executives, and business consultants who want to work with complicated organizational issues using the latest research. In contrast to academic doctoral courses, the DBA combines academic rigor and executive level problem-solving with an emphasis on business change.

At the Roosevelt International University, the DBA is designed in such a way that it helps to close this gap between academic research and strategic leadership practice. The program prepares the experienced professionals to create applied knowledge, policy influence, and original contributions to their industries.
