Thread: Hampton University's Ph.D in Business Administration

I am not sure if this school program has been discussed or not, but Hampton University (Hampton, Virginia) offers Ph.D in Business Administration to be completed in 2 years. The students must spend 4 weeks each summers on campus.

I believe this a great program for those dislike solely distance learning schools (Capella , NCU, Walden, Jones International ).

A PhD in 2 years does not sound right for some reason.

I believe the program's coursework (less the dissertation) can be completed within 2-years. “Students will be required to complete dissertation requirements within 6 semesters (3 years) of the first enrollment in the dissertation seminar.” The dissertation seminar, if I read the program overview correctly, takes place in semesters 5 and 6 (e.g., end of second year).

Does look like a decent school. Looks like their business department is accredited by SACS. Would a non-AfricanAmerican get accepted into this program?

Hampton is a HBCU.

I'm sure they'll take non-African-Americans. Hell, they might give you a minority scholarship.

I second most of that.

Only a 400 GMAT needed ????

“…approximately two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 600. A score of 550 places a test-taker in the 49th percentile and therefore represents the median score of the test-taking population.” A score of 400 would place a test-taker in the 13th percentile; or in other words … the applicant must merely take the GMAT (?).

I have tried looking up more info on this program as well. I like that you can do the residencies in one chunk rather than going on multiple small trips like most of the other hybrid programs.

It actually looks like it would be cheaper than many completely online programs and (maybe?) be frowned upon less than a phd from a for-profit.

You don't have to be Black to attend Hampton (or any other HBCU). HBCUs were founded during a time when Black students were generally not allowed to attend other colleges and universities, so they created their own institutions for higher learning. For obvious reasons, this resulted in the student bodies at HBCUs being primarily Black and that has remained true over the years. However, even though most of the students are Black, it is definitely not a requirement. All are welcome to apply.

Lack of AACSB would disqualify this program for me. I like the idea of residencies myself.

It also depends on the field of specialization. The finance and accounting specialization sounds appealing even if it is not an AACSB accredited degree given the demand of this field.

I believe the program is a step up compared to online schools but the ideal would be an AACSB accredited school.

True, but I am seeing more of "The ideal candidate will possess a PhD or DBA from an AACSB accredited business school" when it comes to tenured track positions, even at schools that are not currently AACSB. Sadly, in this case a non-AACSB online RA PhD carries the same weight as a California Pacific University Calif approved PhD. None.

I have reviewed the Academic qualified faculty requirement from AACSB and I couldn't find the requirement that states that an AACSB accredited doctorate is required to teach at an AACSB accredited institution.

The requirement requires that academic qualified doctorate holds an accredited doctorate and has a publication record in the field of expertise.

My guess is that Universities filter candidates based on the AACSB accreditation requirement but technical you don;t need one to teach at a AACSB accredited school.

A good publication record and a degree from a RA school should be enough.

I believe that is the proliferiation of online degrees from Capella , NCU, etc that have set this requirement. Basically, it is a way to prevent these graduates from applying to these positions.

A PhD from a known school like McGill University (in top 100) should make you qualified even though this school is not AACSB accredited .
