Discover Our PhD ProgramWhat is a DBA?
The DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) is a professional doctoral program tailored for experienced managers, executives, and entrepreneurs aiming to advance their careers through applied research and strategic leadership. Unlike a PhD, which emphasizes theoretical research, a DBA focuses on practical solutions, business innovation, and real-world impact.
From the very beginning, participants actively engage in research projects designed to address real management challenges. The program emphasizes long-term, practice-oriented research grounded in the latest scientific insights. Workshop content develops advanced research methods, ensuring rigorous and relevant studies. All applicants bring managerial experience and a Master’s or MBA degree, so the program builds on prior knowledge and does not repeat standard MBA coursework.
At the Paris School of Entrepreneurship, our DBA graduates gain the skills and credentials to lead complex organizations, implement innovative strategies, and make impactful decisions in entrepreneurship, business strategy, international management, and public policy, positioning them for top executive roles worldwide.
