DBA Degree from UCAM by Westford

[turbotortuga]

I agree everything you have said. But is acutally illegal to call myself a Doctor even after I done the DBA with UCAM? The reason why I'm asking even tho you said so is because I just got a replied from the Westford that after you finish the DBA with them, you can call yourself a doctor. I'm now going to send emails to the university and see what they say. I will get you posted.

I think that Kab did an excellent job of breaking down Spanish Law as it pertains to the awarding and recognition of Spanish Professional versus Academic Degrees. And according to the Spanish Law as it pertains to this degree in Spain, you would not be conferred the title of Doctor were you to be awarded this professional degree. So I would say that UCAM and Westford are being a little unethical by saying that you could, even though Kab has proven that their Spanish DBA is not an academic degree that affords that title. Unlike in the US, where a DBA from an accredited university IS considered a "Doctoral" degree and therefore would grant the title of Doctor upon conferral.
