Doctor of Business Administration
"The opportunity
to consolidate my business experience"
Program Overview
The BSL DBA program is specifically designed for successful business practitioners interested in applying their knowledge and experience to the intellectual exercise of business research.
BSL’s doctorate program takes into account the practicality of business. In other fields the doctorate is often earned by the proposition of theories that explain experimental observations. However, in the pace of modern business, theories must be more than just explained—they must be successfully undertaken and profitably implemented. BSL’s Doctorate in Business Administration challenges candidates to develop business theories into practical proposals.
In earning a BSL DBA candidates take part in an exciting experience that will add a new dimension to their problem solving capacity. They leave BSL with more than a degree, but with a lasting influence on their future career success.
Thesis Topics
The BSL DBA is awarded on the basis of a thesis written under the guidance of a senior member of the BSL faculty. Though a candidate is free to choose a DBA thesis topic, we select, after detailed and careful evaluation, topics that contribute most significantly to new understanding and concrete applications in business. We give preference to topics that add value to the well-being of the business community, favoring issues involving practical considerations in ethics, sustainability, personal and professional development, corporate governance, and alternative business models.
Important Deadlines
We evaluate thesis proposals four times a year, in September, November, February and May. Your complete file must be submitted before the first day of each evaluation in order to be included in our evaluations. Selected projects are subsequently finalized in mutual agreement and a thesis advisor will be appointed enabling the start of the program. We accept a limited number of doctorate students into our program each year.
