The Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) is a terminal degree that is designed to prepare individuals for high-level careers in business and management. It is a research-based program that focuses on applied research and the practical application of business theory.

The DBA program typically requires a minimum of three years of study beyond a master’s degree, although the length of the program can vary depending on the institution and the student’s pace of study. The program curriculum typically includes coursework in advanced business theory and research methods, as well as a significant research project or dissertation.
