Where Research Meets Real-World Practice
The URI College of Business’s Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.) program is setting itself apart in advanced business education through its hybrid learning model, individualized mentorship, and emphasis on professional application. Unlike many D.B.A. programs that are fully online and asynchronous, URI’s format combines in-person residencies, synchronous, and asynchronous online instruction.
“Our students are practitioner scholars. They come in with industry experience and a desire to apply rigorous research to real-world business challenges.”Jessica Strübel, Associate Professor and D.B.A. Program Executive Director
