Professional Doctorate of Business Administration - Program Description

Business executives are required to operate in a volatile environment where competition is global, change is the norm, and where radical discontinuities lead to erratic decision making frames. Excellence in entrepreneurship, strategic management, corporate finance, leadership and organizational change management are pre-requisites of a corporate executive who can bring about organizational viability.

The Doctorate of Business Administration program transforms business executives into business leaders. Doctoral candidates not only learn the most advanced decision-making techniques, but also develop the research and writing skills that accompany high-level responsibility in the academic and business environments. The program encourages executives, college or university professors, and consultants to use their professional backgrounds to explore, design, and manage large systems within the complex organizations of our increasingly multifaceted and multi-sectored economy.

Caluniversity’s Knowledge TRA policy ensures that coursework for the doctorate program entails greater application than retention of knowledge and skills by way of projects, presentations and case studies.
