It is a hybrid program. https://www.babson.edu/doctor-of-business-administration/ "Students will complete three in-person residencies on the Wellesley campus per semester, each of which will be three days long. In total, students will complete 18 on-campus residencies through the entire program. In addition, there are two week-long intensive courses, one in year 1 and one in year 3."
Unless a graduate is guaranteed an Executive position at one of the Fortune 1,000 companies, otherwise I don't know if it's worth it. Price Tag: $123,000 Alternative Texas State University's McCoy College of Business' DBA for $36,900.00
Depends on if your ROI is financially-based. And we know schools cannot guarantee any particular outcomes for graduate.
I gather that these sorts of programs are more for people who are already executives having them paid for by their employers. Same with the $130,000-ish two year UPenn EdD. Agree that TSU is a great choice for mere mortals.
Frankly, this is an amazing choice. If I remember correctly, the lowest prices for Us-based RA doctorates in business (like CalSouthern and Cumberlands) are in the $30K range. This program is from an AACSB-accredited school of business. Game changer.
When I was an education specialist stationed outside of Boston, our base had more officers than it did enlisted members, and most of those officers were systems program officers, engineers responsible for systems acquisition and development. (Weapons systems, communications, computers, whatever.) For so many of them it was their first assignment, and almost all were eager to get their master's degrees. I got to network literally thousands of them into local programs along two strands: MBAs and master's degrees in engineering. A lot of the engineers went to Northeastern. A lot of the MBA students went to Babson. Other popular programs were Western New England College (now University) and Brandeis. Other prestigious universities in the area--Harvard, MIT, Boston College, UMass Boston, and Boston University--didn't yet offer part-time programs for working adults. I did the Regents program because it was Warp 6 compared to all of those, and I had things I wanted to get to .
Another choice is the University of Dundee's Online Doctor of Business Administration, which is AACSB-accredited. The program takes 4 years (48 months) and the tuition is 8,000 GBP annually. The university is ranked #418 globally by QS.
Actually, Babson College is AACSB accredited at the Doctoral level while Texas State University is only at the undergraduate and Master's levels. I don't know if that matters. URL: https://www.aacsb.edu/accredited?educations=doctoral
