Doctor of Business Administration Degree rapidly becoming the MBA of the 21st Century, predicts Northcentral University

The Doctor of Business Administration Degree is beginning to displace the Master’s of Business Administration degree. Northcentral University, a global leader in 100% online higher education, today announced that its School of Business and Technology Management has expanded the number of DBA degrees offered to 18 areas of study, according to Dr. Clinton Gardner, President of Northcentral University.
“In many areas of specialization, the traditional Master’s of Business Administration degree is no longer the final stage of study,” Dr. Gardner said today. “The amount of information to learn in specific subject areas has become so great that a Doctoral degree is required for mastery of the field. Northcentral University’s School of Business and Technology Management committed itself several years ago to meeting the needs of these 21st Century Doctoral Learners. As a result, I am pleased to announce the school now offers DBA in 18 areas of study. This broad range of degree programs reinforces our commitment to provide Learners with the largest selection of specialized degree programs.”
According to Dr. Gardner, Northcentral University now offers Doctor of Business Administration degree programs in Advanced Accounting, Applied Computer Science, Computers & Information Security, Criminal Justice, Electronic Commerce, Financial Management, Healthcare Administration, Homeland Security Leadership & Policy, Human Resources Management, Industrial Organizational Psychology, International Business, Management, Management of Engineering and Technology, Marketing, Organizational Leadership, Project Management, and Public Administration.
The number of Learners enrolled in DBA degree programs at Northcentral University has grown steadily larger over the last five years, Dr. Gardner explained. In fact, it is now the fastest growing area of study within the University, a trend that is expected to only increase in the years ahead. “Today we have more than 750 Learners enrolled in DBA degree programs and our two most popular areas of specialization are Organizational Leadership and Management, with approximately 100 Learners enrolled in each of these two programs.”
The Northcentral University Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program is designed for current and potential business leaders and senior managers, in the private and public sectors to enhance their knowledge and competencies appropriate to a leadership role in business and administration.
The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program is a research-based degree, but unlike the Ph.D., the DBA is focused on a business management issue or problems. The outcome of the research is designed to provide valuable insights to an organization, in addition to contributing to the knowledge of the field of business management. The DBA is increasingly recognized by international business and management schools as the most appropriate post-MBA (or equivalent master’s degree) route to combining academic research to management and business.
Since its founding in 1996 Northcentral University (www.ncu.edu <http://www.ncu.edu> ) has pioneered a distinct approach to online Undergraduate, Graduate, and Post Graduate education that is dedicated to teaching individuals rather than classes.
Combining the power of the Internet with an unparalleled faculty mentored approach, Northcentral offers students the flexibility to cost-effectively study on their own schedule using their own individual style while receiving personalized attention from course instructors whenever it is needed.
Regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, the for profit, 100% online university currently serves nearly 10,000 students worldwide, offering Bachelor, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees in the Schools of Business and Technology Management, Education, and Behavioral and Health Sciences.
A virtual spokesperson for black technology, BlackEngineer aspires to serve as leading news and information provider on the advancements in black technology with deep insights into black engineering, black entrepreneurs, black education, and historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). In fact, BlackEngineer is one of the very few to promote the achievements of black technology. The Black engineer of the year awards (BEYA) is one of our successful ventures to promote black technology, progress and achievements made in black technology, and the sentiments of the Black community in the US, the UK, Caribbean, and Africa.
Black technology entrepreneurs are increasingly providing the horsepower that drives the global economy. Over the last two decades, black entrepreneurs have created more jobs, and contributed much more to the economic expansion of the Black community as a whole, than any black pastor or politician. Black entrepreneurs are taking risks and building businesses that generate economic growth and increase prosperity in underserved areas, as more minority-owned and minority-focused businesses emerge, willing to serve the financial needs of Black entrepreneurs. US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine's annual list of Top Black Technology Entrepreneurs reflects the expanding scope of leading Black entrepreneurs in information technology, homeland security, and defense.
