Online DBA

The International University of Monaco (IUM) has announced an online Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA). The intention of the DBA programme is to spawn a new generation of thesis which is not exclusively academic and is quite different from the classical PhD.

Instead of providing a path to become a University professor, for example, the Executive DBA will, by virtue of the rich collaborative environment, generate new ideas and tools for analysis and reference frameworks that participants wouldn’t be able to produce alone in their ordinary working conditions.
