UMT Ranks # 6 in Top Online Doctoral Degrees in Business Administration
for 2019
ARLINGTON, Virginia, February 18, 2019
The University
of Management and Technology's Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program has been
chosen as # 6 of 20 Best Online Doctoral Degrees in Business Administration for
2019 by Online-PhD-Degrees.com. It also ranks # 4 for affordability. The
recently released rankings highlight distance learning institutions at the
forefront of online education and take into account several key factors: the
quality and relevance of curriculum, online flexibility, successful retention
rates, and real-world education that places students in touch with a broad
network of peers and professionals.
UMT's program is accredited by the
Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) and is one of the few doctoral
programs that have achieved Specialized Accreditation in Project Management
Education Programs from the Project Management Institute Global Accreditation
Center (PMI GAC https://www.pmi.org/global-accreditation-center).
UMT's
DBA program has produced graduates who have become leading professionals in
their fields, including: Dr. L. David Olson, who ran a $400 million dollar
nuclear waste remediation project at the Hanford, Washington site; Dr. Bryan
Stambaugh, who directs Business Winning and Project Management for defense
programs at a top-three US defense contractor – and who also serves on the
faculty of Harrisburg University; Dr. S. David Burke, who has served as Chief
Engineer at a major environmental cleanup company; Dr. Li Zhong, Mayor of
Qian'an, a Chinese city of 1.5 million people (the same size as Philadelphia),
who at the outset of the 2010s pioneered in implementing green policies in
Chinese cities; Dr. Geoffrey Webster, who published three IT management articles
in professional journals within a year of graduating and was honored as a
recipient of the 2018 DEAC Famous Alumni Award; and Dr. Glen Laman, a leading
authority on entrepreneurship in small island nations, who converted his DBA
dissertation into a well-received book, Jamaican Entrepreneurship. Dr.
Lee Cheng-Hsiung, CEO and experienced Taiwanese rubber parts manufacturer,
recently received his doctoral degree from UMT at age 77, proving it's never too
late to achieve academic top milestones.
UMT Academic Dean Dr. J.
Davidson Frame commented, "What distinguishes our program from what you find at
other universities is that from Day One, we get our students to think about what
dissertation topic they want to pursue. By considering their research topic at
the outset, they can trim one to two years off the time it takes to complete
their degrees." DBA students are encouraged to complete their doctoral programs
in 3 years.
