CIU’s unique online Doctor of Business Administration offers potential for advancement
July 20, 2022
The new online Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) at Columbia International University’s Cook School of Business is designed to meet the development needs of working business professionals, and is unique in its approach.
Dr. Kevin Jones, the dean of CIU Global, the school’s online college, says the DBA is unique because learners begin applied doctoral project experience (ADPE) alongside the core coursework.
“Students will begin working on their Applied Doctoral Project Experience at the very beginning of their program allowing them to complete their doctoral degree in just 27 months,” Jones said. “Students will also be assigned a mentor, stylist and methodologist.”
Jones also notes that the degree offers an increased understanding of both academic and practical business management and leadership content.
“It prepares the student for higher level responsibilities within the marketplace, for those seeking advancement, and better management practices for those already in senior management positions.”
Among the other unique benefits of earning a DBA from CIU is learning to practice leadership, management and entrepreneurism from an ethical, personal leadership philosophy based on a biblical worldview.
Other popular online business programs at CIU include Bachelor of Business Administration, Master of Business Administration, Master of Organizational Leadership and Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership.
