blog.accepted.com/all-about-the-grenoble-dba-docto… Would you like to be the kind of business leader who wants to define problems and design solution based on rigorous research? Are you seeking a global, part-time program that goes beyond the masters? Do you like the idea of being a chef as opposed to a cook? Dr. Michelle Mielly, Academic Director of the DBA U.S. for GEM, gives us the scoop on Grenoble Ecole de Management DBA, a program that helps it students define problems and design solutions based on rigorous research. Questions covered in the show with timestamps: What’s the difference between a PhD and a DBA, or are they synonymous? 2:31 What can someone with a DBA do professionally outside of academia that someone with an MBA can’t do? 4:51 What’s distinctive about the GEM DBA program? 10:16 In preparing for the call I noticed that there is an emphasis on integrating practical and theoretical, what Valérie Sabatier, Director of the GEM Doctoral School, calls “relevant research.” Can you delve into that a little deeper? 14:09 The DBA draws students from around the world to its part-time program, but it has four physical locations in Grenoble, France, Los Angeles, CA, New York City NY, and Istanbul, Turkey. Do the cohorts meet all together at specific points in time? Is it a lock-step program? Are there online components? 16:28 How does the GEM DBA program compare in cost to similar U.S. programs? 23:05 You’ve convinced me. I want to join the program. How do I get in? 29:06 I saw that at least five years of work experience is required. What kind of work experience are you looking for? 34:55 GMAT or GRE? Academic background in business? Or specific other fields? 37:19 What gets you excited (in a positive way) about an applicant? 38:57 Do you have any advice for people considering the GEM DBA? What should they be thinking about? 42:00 What would you have liked me to ask you? 46:21 Applying to graduate school? Accepted is here to help with our expert admissions consulting services.
