Year at a Glance Breakdown

Here's more information about the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø EDBA curriculum.
  • Format

    The EDBA program will be delivered in a hybrid form, but in-person classes will only be held one weekend per term. The remote portion of the courses will be done with either synchronous or asynchronous classes. Each professor will be given the flexibility to determine how the remote sessions will be taught based on the course material. Plan for weekly synchroneous meetings during the evenings. 

  • Residency Weekends

    There will be a combined spring residency (each cohort will be together). In addition, we will look to take advantage of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø business community when the students are on campus with such activities as a CEO Roundtable.

  • Credits

    Thirty-nine (55) credits are required for graduation. Each cohort will take roughly 6.0 credits classes each term (fall, spring and summer).

     

  • Transfer Policy

    The Executive Doctorate of Business Administration program does not accept graduate transfer credit from other institutions. 

  • Curriculum

    Students are required to take eleven (22) courses in the core curriculum.
