The Walsh College Doctor of Management Program
The Doctor of Management in Executive Leadership (DM) program at Walsh College began in fall 2007. The Doctor of Management program is an intensive, part-time program with a mix of on-campus and online coursework designed for working professionals. The program is designed to develop scholar practitioners through exposure to philosophical underpinnings and critical thinking in both the theory and application of management ideals and latest research findings. In the DM program, students develop the skills necessary to act decisively in meeting the rapidly changing social and business environment. The expectation is that graduates of the program will be prepared to excel in successful careers as business leaders, consultants, or business educators.
