Dubai: Capital College UAE, a leading higher education institution and the region’s first entrepreneurship college, launches a Doctorate in Business Administration program that is recognized under the top 50 worldwide (My Degree Guide). This program is launched in exclusive partnership with Westcliff University, a prominent and reputed higher education institution based in California. The college launches its first doctorate program for the upcoming January intake with flexible modes of learning where students can opt for online, on-campus or blended forms of teaching.

Westcliff University is a dynamic higher education institution who offer American accredited qualification and are specifically known for their MBA and DBA programs. The DBA is ranked #6 under the top 15 affordable programs without the requirement of GMAT. Additionally, the university ranked #4 for the most affordable Doctorate of Business Administration online. Students graduating with an MBA or DBA program will get an American qualification accredited regionally by The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), internationally by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) and listed under The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), making it a truly international qualification and enabling students to enhance their skills and knowledge in the lines of business and management.

Recent research suggests that 88% of doctorate business programs that universities offer are DBA while 5% are Doctor of Philosophy and 7% grant a Doctor in another business discipline or simply with a different program name such as Doctor of Management or Doctor of Organizational Change. With such high demand for this program, Capital College introduces DBA to its students and fosters the highest level of business education through an internationally-acclaimed program.

The DBA program is exclusively designed for professionals who wish to delve deeper into the principles and theories that govern global businesses. The program will take students through an advanced learning process that will further hone their decision-making and leadership skills while creating effective business models that will effectively run in global markets. This program is ideal for those who already have a Master’s in a similar field and are looking to explore opportunities through social responsibility, globalization and management. Unique to the DBA offered at Capital College, the students receive not one but two internationally accredited qualifications - from the UK and the US, making it a truly international qualification. This makes it a two country qualification allowing professionals to be prepared to work through a challenging and competitive business market.

Alternatively, Capital College also offers an American MBA program in partnership with Westcliff University. This program is designed for professionals in the business and management sector who wish to gain in-depth knowledge and practical training. This program is the right fusion of theory and practice where students will get real-time and hands-on experience through relevant industrial case studies and solve actual problems companies have or are facing. At the end of the program, students will receive an American MBA from Westcliff University which will make them job-ready or will make them eligible for a DBA program.

Commenting on the launch, Dr Vikas Nand Kumar Batheja, Co-Founder & Director, Capital College says “There couldn’t be a better time to launch this program especially with the country announcing a 100% business ownership to all residents and expats. The DBA program is the first of its kind in the region as it offers both British and American qualifications that are regarded to be the highest academic excellence one could earn. We are extremely excited to launch this program along with welcoming new students for our MBA program in partnership with Westcliff University.”

Adding to the same, Dr Sanjay Batheja, Co-Founder & Director, Capital College states “With over 582 million entrepreneurs in the world out of which 9% of students wish to run a business soon after their postgraduate or doctorate studies, it is our responsibility as an educator to broaden the spectrum of doctorate programs in the country. We firmly believe that UAE is a thriving hub for entrepreneurship and it only adds value when students develop the necessary skills to run successful businesses. Also, we have received great demand for MBA programs and we are positive that this program will also create a similar stir amongst business professionals.”
