What is the difference between a DBA in International Business and a PhD in International Business?

The difference between a PhD in International Business online and a DBA online lies in the emphasis of each degree. The career goals of each student also play a role in which degree is chosen. Depending on the college or university, both degrees typically cover the basics of business, such as human resource management, finance, business and management, international trade, and international marketing.

DBA In International Business

The DBA focuses more on the practical side of business, while the PhD focuses on the theoretical. A DBA student, for example, is likely a business professional with significant real-world experience who is looking for a career-enhancing credential. A PhD student is more likely to be an aspiring academic who wants to conduct theoretical business research, become a business professor, or develop new theories and knowledge in business.
