Professional Doctorates
Professional Doctorates are specifically designed for the working professional who does not expect to enter the academic stream as a full professor upon completion. Nevertheless, professional doctorates are considered equivalent in both stature and requirement as to the D.Phil. or Ph.D. counterpart and are generally accepted for teaching positions within university business schools, as is the case with the well-know DBA degree (Doctor of Business Administration).
Candidates entering the Professional Doctorate streams may do so as thesis-only under the Doctor of Professional Studies program or as course-based under the remaining programs. Typically, the professional doctorate makes use of a course component of between 6 to 8 graduate courses in order to provide a solid foundation within the discipline so that the candidate may (re)-enter the professional arena with confidence upon graduation. Professional doctorates are typically geared to the working professional with an average of 10 years business experience at the managerial level.
The professional doctorate at Monarch Business School Switzerland may also be combined as a dual degree with the Ph.D. in Administration from our University partner, Universidad Azteca.
