DBA/AACSB/Online/Cheap... does this exist?

[bjcheung77]

Hi,

I was also looking for an AACSB accredited PHD/DBA program that is low residency or all at a distance.  If possible, going full time is obviously a better choice, but, for a lot of mid-career professionals who are one of the main breadwinners for the family, quitting work is not an option.  

You may want to look beyond the US at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.  They offer a research based (i.e. no actual doctoral classes and it is all research) program that takes about 2-5 years to complete and the tuition is in the neighborhood of $2-3k a year for a total cost of $7-10k for an AACSB/EQUIS/AMBA program. It is a PHD program in Business Administration that would likely allow you to concentrate your PHD in Accounting.

Other options for a DBA are going to cost you about $50k or more for AACSB US, UK, or European based programs.
