DBA through University of Mississippi and Grenoble

The University of Mississippi, also known as "Ole Miss" and Grenoble Ecole de Management have formed a partnership for business education with the first program being the Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) degree for executives.

Nice catch...thanks for posting.

I had started to apply for the Grenoble DBA but changed my mind at the last minute. When I was talking to them they mentioned the Ole Miss partnership.

Their announcement is a little bit misleading if you don't read it carefully. The first part makes it sound like its a doctorate offered by both schools when in reality its a joint certificate from Ole Miss & Grenbole and DBA from Grenoble.

Regardless...its a great program and great opportunity for people to join the DBA program and attend some workshops in the US.

 

Yes. When I was looking at it, a weekend trip to Mississippi each month through the summer was required.

Yes. They had 2 required trips to France over the course of the program.

~$35K US for 4 years...but I think this was about to go up.

Master's level degree (MBA, MSc) + 3 years management experience + GMAT.

Here's Grenoble's comments to me about these same types of questions:

 

I think I'm a little confused on the structure of the program. So, it's not a joint degree like the one Grenoble has with Newcastle? What exactly is the "joint certificate" thing?

 

According to the statement from Grenoble:

Not sure what certificate will be awarded but this doesn't appear to be the same program as the Newcastle/Grenoble joint DBA.
