Details
Following completion of the four research methods modules, the doctoral writing labs and the submission of a research proposal, the final requirement, prior to receiving the Executive Doctorate of Business Administration, is writing three discrete research projects and defending them Viva Voce (orally) in front of a doctoral defense committee.
The School has chosen an innovative Executive Doctorate of Business Administration “dissertation” approach. Executive Doctorate of Business Administration candidates typically choose to write three papers that together constitute the doctoral dissertation. Each paper is supervised and vetted by an appointed dissertation faculty, who mentors each doctoral candidate through the process. One of the three papers must be considered publishable quality and intended for publication in a respected (listed) journal following an established peer-review process.
