    Executive Ph.D. in Business

    The Executive Doctor of Philosophy in Business from University of the Cumberlands builds on your undergraduate and graduate education and real-world professional experiences to prepare you for C-Suite and executive-level positions within any organization. This hybrid Doctor of Philosophy in Business degree program also gives the theoretical, research-based insights and practical training you need to work in academia and further the discipline through research or instruction.

    The executive PhD in business is a variation of our fully online business PhD program. Along with online coursework, your curriculum involves applied learning practicums and a residency component, both of which are required each semester. An executive PhD in business is ideal for working professionals who want a program that works with their busy schedule but isn't completely online. It’s designed to actively engage you in the theories, strategies, and tactics for superior business practices in real-world applications.

    Bottom line, this executive Ph.D. in business degree program will advance your understanding of theoretical and applied literature in business administration to help you:

    • Gain a working knowledge of best practices in accounting, finance, economics, business management, and marketing
    • Develop research-based strategies to optimize organizational performance — domestic and international
    • Apply advanced communication, collaboration, research, and critical-thinking skills
    • Contribute to the field of business — both theoretical and practical — through rigorous research

    Take your organization — and your career — to the next level with an Executive Doctor of Philosophy in Business. To learn more about how to fit this executive-level degree program into your busy schedule, fill out the form on this page or call us at 855.791.7201.
