"We are exploring the possibility of adding a DBA. We currently have an MBA. Do we need ACBSP's approval before we launch the program? Can we accredit the new program only after it's been in existence for two years and we have graduates? What do we do?"

"We would have to add a site visit to the DBA program because it's a level above what you already have accredited." — Dr. Steve Parscale, Chief Accreditation Officer
