@Bob Sham, I got your PM for Buddy Request and have added you. Basically, you really need to provide us more details, such as the country/state you currently reside in, age, budget, commitments, dedicated time to study, and the info in the template along with the last post addendum here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works
Have you reviewed your previous thread from about two years ago asking the same thing? Have you also checked out the graduate section of the forum and reviewed some posts/threads for the DBA? There are several in some countries in your neck of the woods. Your previous thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...hD-Program
If you can afford it, at under 8-10K, Mexico has options as well, I wrote about them a few days ago: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...l-Programs
AMA University, they should be RA equivalent, I posted about them a few months back here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ed-country
I did another post for the country here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-in-the-PI
I think Malaysia has some too: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...n-Malaysia
Here's another one from Malaysia: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...University
You can always check India: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...s-in-India
Last but not least, you can check UNISA in South Africa: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...150-school

What is your goal for getting this degree? Professional development or are you wanting to get it to move up in the world of Education and teaching. Generally speaking DBA, while equivalent to a PhD, is considered a professional doctorate. Meaning it focuses more on professional skills that you’ll need to succeed within a business. If you’re wanting to teach at universities I would suggest rather looking at a PhD in your chosen specialisation.
I don’t have extensive knowledge on all countries, but as mentioned above you can look at UNISA (University of South Africa); they offer quite an extensive range of PhDs, at a fair price.
Alternatively if you’re wanting to stay within the US borders, I know liberty university online has a few business related PhDs.
In progress:
XAMK: Video Game Creation certificate (8/13 courses completed)
Metropolia: Multiple Courses (In Progress: IT Services Sales and Marketing)
Completed:
Sophia: 62 credits
i-to-i: 180-hour TEFL certificate (DEAC- accredited)

Depending on where one lives, a DBA is absolutely going to help you be able to teach college courses. Almost every business professor at my current university has a DBA. Hasn't hurt them in the slightest. Outside of the US this may be different. A PhD in business is not a requirement for many schools in the US.

I am a Singapore citizen age 46. I am searching for a fast track DBA with minimum budget. The reason for this is for my career development and I was informed that in the future all adjunct lecturer must have at least DBA in the future to conduct lectures at the private institution I am currently at. Essentially, Singapore is very particular on accreditation and the degree must be by government university the least. I hope this information suffice to advice further. Thank you in advance mate.

No it is not AACSB. South College is a private college not a state university. There are more private colleges in the US than state universities. If you want a DBA program that is AACSB, then it's going to be expensive and take more than 2 years.

Thank you for the reply. I believe state University will be a better choice. My main worry is the accreditation.

Which kind of accreditation? Are you referring to RA and NA or business programs accreditation such as AACSB and ACBSP?
