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.

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 in order to remain in good standing.

Additionally, once accepted, students will be asked to commit to 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.

Please see Frequently Asked Questions for a complete list of tuition and other costs and technology requirements. A Coles College financial aid representative will meet with you to discuss student loans.

Tuition does not cover the cost of travel to Kennesaw or lodging while attending residencies.
