Doctor of Management (DM)

Like the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), the Doctor of Management (DM) is a professional doctorate degree. However, instead of a focus on business administration and quantitative subject areas, the focus of the DM is on management. Earning a DM provides management professionals and business degree holders with the advanced skills in research, analysis, theory and practice needed to attain leadership positions in business, government, or education. The program creates an opportunity for the student to demonstrate application of the knowledge and skills gained in the course work portion of the program and to demonstrate the critical thinking and analytical skills required to successfully complete the Doctoral Project.

  • The structure of the lectures at IAU allows for shared experiences within the classroom, which was very useful, as many students come to IAU from all over the world. The teaching methods of the lectures are very appropriate and easy to understand, which fits working adults and distance learning students.

     

    Corporate Strategic Planning and Organizational Behavior are among the classes that were most beneficial for me. In the classroom, we discussed case studies to help relate the knowledge we’d gained to its real-world applications.
