Resolving Issues In Innovative Graduate Degree Programs: The Metropolitan State University Doctor Of Business Administration Experience

Abstract

Applied Master’s Degree and doctoral programs have been criticized widely for their lack of relevance, rigor and quality. New graduate degree programs have responded to these criticisms by implementing innovative academic policies, program curriculum, and student services. A case study of the Metropolitan State University Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program highlights effective innovations for resolving key issues facing applied doctoral programs.
