Frequently Asked Questions for the Online DBA

Is it worth it to get a DBA?

A doctoral program is a serious commitment, so before you make the decision, you need to know if it’s worth your time, effort, and money. At Liberty, we believe a DBA is worth it. Here are some reasons why:

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, professionals with a doctorate can make more than their counterparts.*
Earning a terminal degree sets you apart as a professional. Additional education can equip you to become a leader and expert in your field.
The advanced knowledge you can gain in this program can help you contribute to real-world business problems in a practical way.

What kind of degree is a DBA?

What’s the difference between a DBA and PhD?

If you’re considering a DBA or PhD in project management online, you may be wondering what the difference is. A DBA will focus on business principles that can help you continue in the field as a leader and professional. A PhD is more academic-focused and can help prepare you for roles in higher education or academic research.

Additionally, a project management PhD will likely require a dissertation. Our DBA does not require a dissertation. Instead, you will complete a research project that can help you solve a real-world business problem and conduct ground-breaking research.

Can you complete a PhD in 1 year?

Deciding to pursue an online PhD in project management is a big commitment, so it’s important to find out how long it will take to complete your program. The typical PhD takes 4 or more years to complete.

However, you can earn Liberty’s DBA in Project Management in just 60 credit hours. This program can help you gain the expertise you need as a leader in your field faster than a typical PhD.
