Executive Doctorate in Business
About
The Executive Doctorate in Business program advances effective organizational leadership by developing the knowledge and expertise executives need to identify, understand and successfully tackle the high-level issues that characterize global business management today.
Program participants take a hands-on approach by leading class discussions, working in four-person project teams, and choosing a dissertation topic that is relevant to their industry. Faculty mentors guide the project teams through their presentations and projects, and work individually with students on their dissertations.
The curriculum initially emphasizes research methodology coursework, and shifts toward content coursework and project labs as the program progresses.
