All of our graduate programs are in 12-week terms and offer rolling admissions, meaning there are no admissions deadlines. As long as you submit your application two business days before the specific term start date, you can begin class on the nearest start date.

*Pricing will vary on for certain microcredentials programs.

Although not every degree can be completed strictly online, several courses are offered in a variety of formats. To learn more about our course offerings, contact Michael Sarles at msarles@udallas.edu or at 972-721-5100.

Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) Program

Executives and other business professionals enroll in UD’s DBA program to further their careers in their current organizations; to enhance their knowledge, skills and credentials as consultants; or to become professors in schools of business like ours where the emphasis is on quality teaching and applied research.

DBA students engage in advanced studies of leadership and management topics, learn research methods and statistics, and apply what they’ve learned in an applied research project that increases understanding of organizational processes and addresses contemporary business challenges. The DBA program is designed for working business professionals to be able to complete a doctoral-level degree in three years. Learn more about our DBA program.
