  Doctor of Business Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The degree of Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is a professional research doctorate.
The DBA (like the Ph.D.) normally requires a significant thesis or final comprehensive project including a formal defense and approval by an officially sanctioned and qualified doctoral review committee.
The DBA is sometimes virtually identical to the Ph.D. However, the degree curriculum tends to focus on contemporary and practical business issues as opposed to theoretical research.
