Three-Year Schedule
Competing in a global
economy is relentless yet replete with
opportunities for curious and highly motivated
individuals. Increasingly, personal strategies
must be developed and implemented to prepare for
future career opportunities and challenges.
Being successful personally and professionally
means you must be able to look beyond the
"current situation" and approach your goals with
a more strategic perspective. Students choose from one of these four concentration areas: Accounting, Management, or Marketing with sub-specialties in each area.
Our tentative three-year

Tuition and Other Costs
The total tuition cost for
the KSU DBA 2012 Cohort will be approximately $90,000. This
amount will cover most University fees. Tuition is paid each semester - January, June, and August, and a tuition payment schedule will be provided once accepted. Tuition is based on credit hours - the 1st year is six hours each in summer, fall, and spring; the 2nd year is nine hours each in fall and spring; and the 3rd year is six hours each in fall and spring. All
students who have been admitted to the KSU DBA
program are required to register each semester

Additionally, once

the program with a $2,500 non-refundable deposit
that is deducted from the tuition.
Additional fees also
include a non-refundable $100 application fee
and, if invited to attend a research workshop (step 3), a
non-refundable $100 workshop fee.
Students will need a laptop for class.
