The program will guide students through the various parts of the DBA program. As students progress through the program, the first step is to submit a research proposal, which students will present to the Dissertation Committee. The committee will give approval to proceed or give necessary feedback in order to make appropriate adjustments. Students will be cooperating with an academic mentor who will supervise, provide guidance, and help with the process. Every six months, students will have an in depth online meeting with their academic mentor.
The dissertation is an essential aspect of the DBA program, and every candidate for the DBA program must prepare and submit a dissertation. It is a formal written document that represents sustained research or the investigation in an important intellectual issue. The dissertation must be an independent effort, which contributes to the field in which it is written. All dissertations must meet rigorous academic standards and be professionally prepared in a format suitable for reproduction and written in English.
The standard format and style reference guide for all academic writing for PAI is the APA Formatting 6th Edition. This handbook should be consulted to determine the format, style, reference citation criteria, and standard conventions for writing all reports, papers, theses and dissertations.
PAIU’s Doctoral Degree program on average, takes 4-5 years to complete. Full time students are given four courses at a time. Part time students are given 1-2 courses at a time. Courses are based on a flexible and self-learning structure to accommodate each student’s business and personal responsibilities.
Students may be required to pass a final examination at the end of each course. A minimum score of 70% on the final examination is needed in order to successfully pass the course. Some courses may have a project due at end of the course instead. All students must complete a course finalization to receive their grade.
The e-learning system is an online educational management system with tailored course materials where students and lecturers interact. Course materials include: presentations, readings, videos, assignments, quizzes, and a final exam. Following enrollment, a unique username and password will be issued for each student to access the e-learning platform.
Consistent follow-up from the university’s team was beyond expectations. The advisory office support was great. The curriculum has changed my conceptual ideas about managing real life. Looking forward to complete my doctor’s degree with Paris American International University. Thanks you all.
