City University of Seattle Launches Doctor of Business Administration Degree

SEATTLE, June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- City University of Seattle now offers a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA). The first cohort will start October 2015. CityU's online DBA is designed for professionals who desire to develop advanced skills in organization interventional thinking, agile business practices, leadership, and critical thinking, while developing specialized business knowledge in the area of their choice.

CityU is an established doctoral institution with a highly ranked School of Management. The School is accredited by ACBSP, is the third largest producer of MBA graduates in Washington State, and offers online bachelor's, master's and MBA degrees ranked by U.S. News & World Report as some of the top in the nation. The DBA builds on CityU's achievements and will leverage its celebrated practitioner-based faculty to bring students a curriculum that is applicable to the real world and led by industry professionals.

Dedicated to providing relevant education in a flexible format, coursework and discussion groups are available entirely online, so students can log-on anywhere in the world to complete assignments. DBA students are supported through Professor Live Chat and a highly interactive teaching model, which includes one hour per week of lecture and live chat. This model enhances personalized attention and instruction given to each student in every course.

Students are also offered flexibility in what they study. While there are core courses students must take, students transfer in four graduate courses and specialize their study around them by doing a consulting project where they apply and cultivate their knowledge further.
