Talk:Doctor of Business Administration

message: Not all DBA's are "professional" research doctorates.  Depending on the school, some DBA's are more theoretical than Ph.D.'s, and less applied.
I removed the "professional" from "professional doctorate".  A DBA is not a first professional degree.
If you get a DBA, what kind of jobs can you do?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.255.202.207 (talk) 11:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are indeed a few schools, such as Harvard Business School and Boston University's School of Management, that issue DBAs as an approximate substitute for the Ph.D., because these schools have not come to an agreement with the Graduate School that controls Ph.D. granting at their universities. However, most D.B.A.s are granted by programs that set them apart from the Ph.D., and gear them at older, more applied students - in particular practicing executives. A good example of the demarcation is at Case-Western: /http://weatherhead.case.edu/degrees/doctor-management/.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 14:12, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Professional Research Doctorate? 

message: I have removed a list of schools offering D.B.A. degrees from this Talk page multiple times.  If someone needs to reference the list, it's in the history.  But it's not appropriate for this Talk page as it is not discussion related to the improvement of the article.  Our guidelines are very clear on this.  It's also quite silly to take up such a ginormous amount of space in this Talk page when the same material is so easily viewed in the history where it won't clutter this page and make it very difficult to use.
