So I am not sure if PhD will suffice the requirement. In addition, the selection of DBA is assumed to be more on the practical approach which assist in my career development. I will write in to USB to check with them.
That's exactly what I mentioned in my previous post, the DBA is more applied/practical in nature, it would be an alternative or desired degree for those wanting to teach at most institutions in Singapore, being private or public, it won't really matter. The main use for PhD is if you're going into academia and doing more of research versus teaching, I wouldn't bother with the programmatic accreditation as it's secondary, plus will cost you more. I still suggest the ones in the post #2 in addition to whatever else is available inexpensively.
I recently approached MDIS for the DBA from Teeside University which is a 3 year program and costing USD$33385.43 which is very high. Degree from Malaysia is accepted here but not really highly regarded. Currently, I am considering from London Examination Board Triple Award from UCAM, VERN, and Brittany University (Cost is about GBP 12900 which is an acceptable range but not sure about accreditation), Universidad Azteca (Cost is USD $5000 within the range but not sure about accreditation) and South College (Looking at USD $18000 if possible and this is definitely accredited). I think degrees from public universities in UK and US will be more recognized here in Singapore. Even when I wanted to be an adjunct lecturer (MDIS) my qualifications were sent to HEDD for verification.
