Looking for 2 year DBA online

[bjcheung77]

Thanks for your private message in regard to reading my previous posts in the graduate section. Recap: In the last two years, what have you researched? Your previous posts mention you have a MSc in Safety and Health and currently in Singapore.  What ever happened to the University of Stellenbosch Business School program (South Africa) option?  

We're about the same age, I still don't have much info from you to provide a valid set of schools, so that's why you have me posting #2 with some recommendations, I need a clear answer to your budget and commitments and so on (again, as per post #2).  We're here to help, but you're not providing many details either.  Something short and simple in your answers would do!

Basically, from what has been provided, any cheap, easy, fast, option would do for you as long as it has proper accreditation, the AACSB or ACBSP and other programmatic accreditation is secondary.  With your answers, we can provide options that are better in ROI/Value.  Here are the ones I currently would recommend you but will cost more than the Azteca, UCAM, offerings you just mentioned.

1) Upgrad GGU DBA $19.5K USD, they may be stopping applications as only 5,000 are offered and they're in the 4,000's already.  This is the first choice for so many reasons if you can handle the UpGrad learning system, platform of teaching they're using.

2) South College DBA is a close second option if you can finish in 3 sessions, that would be about $18000.  It can be done in 2 years for $24,000 as this is a competency-based degree, it depends how much 'knowledge' you already have in that field, which I think you may lack as you are in Safety and Health.

3) Apollos DBA or IAULA DMan, these both are at the $18000 USD range as well, but they're NA and not RA (which won't really matter as they are bundled the same and recognized by both the CHEA and USDOE).  You don't really need a DBA, I think a DMan may be an option.

Here's a copy/paste from another post of mine on the sister board: Anyways, with the countless number of people going for the MBA, the next logical step up would be the DBA, DHA, DMan, PhD or something closely related depending on the field you want to get into... I think those who want to go into academia would want the PhD option and those who want the degree to be more applied/practical, would choose the DBA or similar.

Competition for the top spots is getting fiercer, as the population is more educated than before, I mean the Associates is the new "high school diploma" and the basic entry degree nowadays, people are shooting at minimum of a Bachelors, those who want to succeed even more would ladder up to the Masters at minimum. Then there are others who are just doing the Doctoral studies for personal purposes... The trend is going up, many more options now with online education than before.
