Doctorate of Business Administration

The Doctoral Program at the American Graduate School of Business aims to incrementally develop students higher order business skills and competencies along with an enhanced emphasis on conducting and interpreting research. This program is differentiated from AGSB s Masters in International Business (MIBA) degree which emphasizes professional business management with a global scope. While both the DBA and the MIBA continue to inculcate in students managerial training and competencies, the DBA further includes a higher emphasis on theoretical formulation and on conducting and interpreting research. In keeping with the latter objective, doctoral business students are typically exposed to a wider variety of readings involving journal and research articles, as opposed to predominantly textbook based material. Further, the DBA students are expected to perform at an incrementally higher level in regards to the analysis and synthesis of a wide range of business material.
