"The three-year program is offered in the format of three residencies each semester for the first two years, and for the third year to be devoted to dissertation research. This format is tailored to the needs of working executives with full-time positions and responsibilities.
The program currently leads to the Doctor of Professional Studies (DPS) Degree.
The executive doctorate in business program requires 60 graduate-level credits, the passing of Examinations 1 and 2, and a publicly-defended dissertation. The typical student will be allowed to transfer 18 credits from an accredited Master’s program or by taking graduate-level courses at a recognized, accredited university. An assessment of all transfer credits will be conducted and approved by the executive director and the admissions committee."
