By APEL (Accreditation Prior Experiential Learning) 65 credits
Our DBA program is designed to enable Managers, Professionals, Entrepreneurs, CEOs, Executives and Company Owners to certify their skills in Business Management, International Management and all branches of business. DBA candidates are usually senior students who can rely on many years of professional and managerial experience. They often have major business responsibilities and are engaged in operational strategies to achieve goals, implement projects and lead people. Our mission is to encourage our candidates to think globally and strategically to use their skills at international level through a DBA.
Today's managers are pragmatic, action-oriented, curious, tenacious and have a strategic business perspective. The development of leadership, management and cross-cultural communication skills are the main features of a modern manager; his or her degree must certify these skills. The DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) offered by Selinus University responds to the challenges a manager faces every day in a complex, changeable, international management environment.
Today, various social factors have created a momentum toward globalization, strategic marketing and consistently creative management of business issues. As an educational institution, we are geared toward skills certification; in doing so, we regularly update our curricula, enhancing the real skills of our candidates to meet the needs of today's international business community.
