ENGAGED MANAGEMENT SCHOLARSHIP CONFERENCE
Paris, France
September 8-11, 2016 ABSTRACT
Founded in 2011, the mission of the Executive DBA Council (EDBAC) is to foster excellence and innovation in executive doctoral degree programs worldwide. The
Council’s strategic focus includes being the primary point of contact and information source for these professional groups, for the media and business schools considering initiating executive doctoral degree programs, and to provide information on executive doctoral degree programs to prospective students. To support these ends using information available from member websites and other online sources, we present a description of 27 characteristics of 43 member schools and a summary table of characteristics across all schools.
PROFESSIONAL EXECUTIVE DOCTORATES: A COMPARISON OF MEMBER
SCHOOLS OF THE EXECUTIVE DBA COUNCIL (EDBAC)
Larry M. Starr, William Connor McRory and Samuel Lim
Introduction
In 2015, Philadelphia University was preparing to launch a Doctor of
Management (D. Mgt.) degree in Strategic Leadership. While immersed in studying the broad topic of professional doctorates and collecting and writing the curricular materials to be submitted to Middle States Commission on Higher Education in order to meet accreditation requirements, the website of the Executive DBA Council (www.edbac.org) was discovered. Realizing that the Council was an excellent source of information and knowledge, and that their peer-reviewed journal and annual conference offered opportunities for our new doctoral community, Philadelphia University applied and was approved to join as a member pending accreditation in September 2015 and the start of the program in January 2016.
The conception of the project began because while the Council provided a list of members (http://www.executivedba.org/members) this consisted of a photo of a building, the university and school name, degree name, and a link to a website. To understand the nature of each program required an individual search through each program website.
We created a program template into which we collected and presented three categories of the properties and characteristics of each program. We repeatedly visited each university and program website searching for information then reported what was found in the template.
Our presentation of results includes the following: We begin by presenting each university logo then list the university website and physical address including primary telephone number.
The Overview category has the following sections: School Affiliation which refers to the School in which the doctoral program is affiliated; School Web Page; Program
Web Page; Degree(s) offered within the program; Program Leadership defined as the program director and others identified as content or administrative leaders; Program
Contact which includes those who provide program information; and a link to the
Application Form for admission.
The Academics category has the following sections: We present the program
Mission or its equivalent; Accreditation such as AACSB which is relevant if the program is housed in a business school, and regional or national governing agencies; Delivery
Method such as the degree to which a program is in-class and online; Entry
Requirements such as prerequisite education and experience; Curriculum Overview which describes the nature of the education model and courses; Tuition and Fees annually and/or in total in US funds; Other which refers to distinctive program features; and Ranking of the program, related degree programs or of the School regionally, nationally or globally.
The Demographic category includes the following sections: Number of Faculty in the doctoral program; number of Courses Offered; number of Courses Required to earn the degree; Average Class Size; Number of Admitted Students in each cohort or annually; Average Age of students; Gender distribution; number of Graduating
Students; Student Support in terms of financial resources or other measures; Where do
Graduates Go in terms of how the education is applied after completion; and How Do
You Measure Success as a measure of learning and contribution to society.
Results
We reviewed all institutional programs listed on the EDBAC website. Three of these, Franklin University, Missouri University of Science and Technology, and
University of Alabama Huntsville, had no listing for a professional doctorate on their websites despite inclusion in the EDBAC list. The remaining 43 institutions presented their program with sufficient information to be included in the program template.
We summarized the programs in an Excel spreadsheet which allows comparison and ordering. For example, the doctoral programs are represented from 10 countries:
Australia (2); Belgium (1), China (2); France (5); Netherlands (1); Peru (1); Switzerland
(1); UK (4); UAE (1); and the United States (33). Tuition ranges from $37,000
(Lausanne Business School) to $150,000 (Case Western Reserve University
Weatherhead School) although 8 schools do not report tuition.
