Program description

The DBA also allows graduates to complete bridging programs designed to satisfy professional organization accreditation.
Full-time students may complete their DBA in 12 to 16 months by completing the CBA – Fast Track program in their first term of study. Find the right business program to suit your needs with our helpful comparison chart.
