Upgrad new French DBA

Yes but this website doesn't contain any accreditation information

 

This one does: https://free-apply.com/en/university/1025000405

And, as As TEKMAN commented:

Triple accreditation: EQUIS AMBA and ACCSB - AND you save 1,650 euro.

PS - I believe BOTH programs are on-campus. So you'll also have to finance three years of living in Paris or Montpellier.

 

I'd maybe choose Montpellier. I'd like the South, I know. Particularly, I'd like to see Roussillon - it's around 2 hours away by car and I think it's my kind of place. There's a University in Montpellier, but none in Roussillon itself. Some others in nearby, likely places though. Here's the list of Languedoc-Roussillon Universities. Mmmm - I can smell the wine, the pâté de Pézenas and the ratatouille already! There's a Manouche (French Gypsy) band today -- just starting, now. I can hear the first notes of Django Reinhardt's "Nuages..." (Clouds.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languedoc-Roussillon_Universities

 

Google:
"Guitarist Django Reinhardt wrote and recorded “Nuages” (French for “clouds”) in wartime France (1939)."

And it's been extremely popular ever since. Django died in 1953 - his sons (Babik and Lousson) and his grandsons carried on the jazz guitar tradition. There are still Reinhardts loosely related to Django, in jazz. I have an album by Nouss'che Reinhardt, a female vocalist who is one of them.

 

It is confirmed the program is $10,000.00 USD for the entire program include meals and access on campus for the immersion week(s) in Paris; which is also optional. Student must pays accommodations and transportation.

I am still trying to figure out the French school entities. The Ecole Supérieure de Gestion et Commerce International (ESGCI) (https://www.esgci.com) is part of ESG (Ecole Supérieure de Gestion AKA Graduate School of Management) (https://www.esg.fr/). Hows does this school associate with Paris School of Business (PSB) (https://www.psbedu.paris/fr), which is tripled accredited (AACSB, AMBA, EFMD), and also Paris Graduate School of Management (PGSM) (https://www.business-school-pgsm.com/).

Also all these school are part of Galileo Global Education group (https://www.ggeedu.fr/schools/).

The professor of Paris School of Business (PSB) is also the professor at ESGCI.



The degrees from both school look the same.

 

Exactly how is it "confirmed?" Where does it say this? I read all 3 blurbs in the links and all I saw re: fees was this - on blurb 1.
"Please refer to the website for the program fee, and connect with our counselor to ascertain your scholarship eligibility" - Or did you get this by phone / email?

I'd like to see this prove true, but I just can't get my head around a good, State-Recognized French school pumping out real, Honest-to-G*d PhDs at degree mill prices. They know a whole lot of things I don't -- but...

 

I spoke with the admission representative from UpGrad today about 30 minutes presentation. If student enroll the next in take June 29, 2023; the getting some discount tuition. Also, the tuition can be split into 12 installments (12 months).

 

ESGCI also collaborate with the University of San Diego Law School offer Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) in Luxury Marketing and Legal Issues

ESGCI: https://www.esgci.com/marketing-luxe/dba-en
University of San Diego Law School: https://www.sandiego.edu/events/law/detail.php?_focus=53761

 

Hmm - discounts on $10K for a 3-year PhD from a recognized French school? If we were talking about a school in Djibouti (formerly French Somaliland) I could maybe understand it. But this is in Paris... Qu'est-ce qu'il se passe, ici? (What's happening here?)

The school site still quotes 31,650 euro - but that's the day-student, B&M version.

 

I think € 31,650 is from the Paris School of Business, which is AACSB, AMBA, and EFMD accreditation. I could not find any information regarding to ESGCI's DBA on its website, https://esgci.com except the one collaborates with UpGrad and ESGCI's DBA in Luxury Marketing and Legal Issues collaborating with the University of San Diego's Law School.

 

I'll leave you to it, then. I'm sure you're right. I got my info from Paris School of Business site's blurb for ESCGI. I couldn't do a read-through of documentation on the actual ESGCI site. Couldn't browse it without downloading and that requires permission, for which one exchanges heaps of personal info - phone numbers etc. which I am not giving them. Looks like the only way is through Upgrad.

Tant de trucs et tracasseries! (So many tricks and hassles.)

 

Yes, it is €31,650 for the DBA at the Paris School of Business; and I don't think the program is online. The trade back with the DBA at ESGCI, no program accreditation; but recognizable as other French institutions. Also, I think the program at ESGCI is new. I couldn't not find any graduate from the program along with thesis/dissertation.

During the weekend, I decided to do more due diligence on the school and its reputation. The program will be the same as Paris School of Business (AACSB, AMBA, and EFMD accreditation); but the program at ESGCI is not programatic accreditation. I decided to apply for the program, and I was offered a $1,500 scholarship. So, the entire program is $8,500.00 in a 12-month install payment. My area of research is Digital Business and Marketing. I took consideration of research area of my choice promoting my startup, traveling to Paris for collaborating and networking, and cost effective from recognizable academic institution.

So, if you want to join the program with me, please apply the link below or referral code (HENR456) that helps me to receive $500.00 toward my program tuition.

Meaning it is a titulo propio?!
Does the school have the right to confer doctoral degrees in general? In case yes very few people outside the degreeinfo microverse will realize it is not a real PhD.
Pretty good deal for a French program even if it´s titulo propio.

Thanks for bringing us to the core of this program

 

I am not sure, but they have graduate in DBA in Luxury Goods and Legal Issues. So, I assume they do. Yeah, DBA is not a real PhD; it is a professional Doctorate for business. I might complete both program using the same research methodology in separate topics.

 

After looking into the French system of education a bit more I've now come to the conclusion that this school cannot award one single degree which can be considered to be an academic degree. It's professional certifications not academic degrees. Surprising how I've been deceived all this time even though I've been reading on degreeinfo for years. I thought they award academic degrees.
