Welcome to DBA Assist

DBA Assist is a comprehensive online platform providing resources, guidance, and community support for individuals pursuing or considering a Doctoral Business Administration degree. We offer program information, application guidance, dissertation support, and career resources.

No, we are an independent platform. We provide objective information about DBA programs worldwide but are not affiliated with any specific educational institution. This independence allows us to offer unbiased comparisons and recommendations.

Most of our resources are free to access. Premium features like personalized mentorship, advanced career services, and certain downloadable templates may require a subscription. Create a free account to explore all available options.

We update program information quarterly and continuously add new content. However, always verify specific details like deadlines, tuition, and requirements directly with universities as these can change frequently.

A DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) is a professional doctorate focused on applying research to solve real-world business problems. A PhD in Business is an academic doctorate focused on creating new theoretical knowledge. DBAs typically pursue executive or consulting careers, while PhDs usually enter academia.

Most DBA programs take 3-5 years to complete. Part-time programs designed for working professionals typically take 4-5 years, while full-time programs may be completed in 3-4 years. The dissertation phase often determines the total duration.

Most programs require: a master's degree (usually MBA), 5-10 years of professional experience, GMAT/GRE scores (sometimes waived), letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and a research proposal. Specific requirements vary by program.

DBA program costs vary widely from $40,000 to $200,000+ for the entire program. Public universities tend to be less expensive than private institutions. Many students receive employer sponsorship or scholarships to offset costs.
