Может, МВА?

Нет, DBA. Это докторская степень. И расшифровывается, на сколько я знаю, как Doctor of Business Administration.

DBA is a teaching/consulting/practice oriented degree invented at Harvard. In essence, I would say DBA is an "extended" MBA. DBAs are taught how to write cases, qualitative articles, how to teach effectively etc. Typically DBA recipient does not write a research thesis. There are very few schools that grant DBA (I am only aware of Harvard and Darden) and demand for DBAs is concentrated at these two schools as well - most of the time they hire their own graduates. Some consulting companies hire DBAs as well. Many hard-core research schools (MIT, Columbia, Carnegie Mellon) will never hire a DBA.

PhD is a research degree: a recipient writes a thesis, course-work is very mathematical in nature. The goal of a PhD is to produce high-quality theoretical research (pretty much like in most business schools and every business school hires them. Some research centers in industry (Bell Laborotories, IBM TJ Watson center) as well as quantitative research companies hire PhDs too.

Cергей,

Большое спасибо за ответ на этот и многие другие мои вопросы. Вы как то сказали, что хотели бы узнать какие университеты спрашивают про available financial resources прямо в лоб. Например, University of Kansas. Там есть секция в application form где ты можешь указать собираешься ли ты финансировать свое обучения из persoanl funds и если да то в какой мере($).
Извините, что сразу не ответил.

Еще раз спасибо,
Влад

I would never consider seriously a university that does something like that.
