Program Structure

Online or Hybrid Format

As a student in our DBA program, you can begin courses in summer, fall or spring and take them year-round. You’ll have the option of attending a four-day, in-person residency once per year in Newberg, Oregon, in August to meet with your cohort and professors. If you can't join us in person, you can take the residency course via Zoom or complete the class online at your convenience.

Class sessions are supplemented with reading assignments and projects, as well as participation in a vigorous online community. The primarily online delivery allows you to complete the program while working full time. The optional summer residency experience adds relational depth with fellow students and professors to your learning experience.

Students networking with each other

One-Week Optional Residency

The DBA program offers a one-week, face-to-face residency every summer, which allows for plenty of interpersonal interaction. Students are given the opportunity to network with their peers and faculty members – experienced leaders from all over the country (and sometimes, the world).

Writing Circles

We know how isolating dissertation work can be, so we’ve created “writing circles” to help you through the process. If you qualify to join a writing circle, you will gather virtually once a month with a group of peers and a professor to give feedback to one another on your work and discuss your progress. It’s just another extension of our Be Known promise, which assures you that at 红杏短视频 Fox you will be known by name and are not just another “number.”
