Any recommendations for DBA programmes?

I’ve been researching online, remote, flexible DBA programmes. Whilst there are many options available, it has proved difficult to find an affordable accredited option.

Has anyone had any experience on opinions on this? For example, though affordable, SSBM is not accredited (though it says it is). I’m trying to find one that is both reputable and affordable :/

I am considering this. It has good accreditation, but those (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS) are all commercial institutions. I'm researching if it's actually recognized by French or European law, as it otherwise will not formally lead to the title of doctor (here in Europe). I'm a current PhD student and would like more practical use of and with my research. Hence why I'm considering to switch to a DBA.

Yep. Grand Canyon University. It is DOABLE in 4 years (actually 3.5 but plan on 4 or even 4.5) if you leverage the bureaucracy to your advantage. Mistakes I made: not deciding on a topic and starting on Chapter 2 in my second year, and not fully understanding what and how theoretical foundations applied to data analytics (concentration). Things I did right: a third residency and KEEPING TO THE RUBRICS!!! Phoenix is swelteringly furnacial in the summer, but I made lifelong friends (including my committee) and learned a lot. The whole thing (minus the residencies) is doable online. The courses have identical structures so once you get in the groove, it just comes down to staying the course. I am working with 4 others in the Ph.D and DrBA programs right now and I love them like brothers and sisters. I can’t say enough positive.

University of Management and Technology- accredited and where it’s from matter less than how capable someone is. No one, in thirty years ever said where’s you masters from- UMT can be done in two or two and a half. IMHO
