DBA Residential
At the beginning of your first year, you will participate in a week-long, in-person intensive that sets the stage for your DBA experience by emphasizing the innovative, global, ethical and sustainable business practices as a force for good. Designed to cultivate a forward-looking mindset to address the grand challenges of the 21st century, this experience will expose you to the process of creative and innovative thinking and how to challenge assumptions to reframe problems. Topics covered will include human‐centered and bottom‐up approaches to immersion, design, innovation, and enterprise, as well as other ways of enabling new ideation, strategies, and techniques for developing creative solutions to business problems.
On-Site Weekends
In-person meetings will consist of residencies that take place once per semester, Thursday evening through Saturday afternoon. Prior to the residential meetings, specific in-person assignments will be given in advance, enabling robust class discussions.
Coming together in-person is an important part of your DBA experience as you build your academic community. These residencies will provide opportunities to network with your peers, meet face-to-face with your mentors, build relationships with faculty, and engage in collaborative and experiential learning.
