Although the Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees are classified as professional degrees and research degrees respectively, several institutions market the D.B.A. as a degree that prepares graduates for careers in higher education. The present study focuses on faculty in certain business disciplines within the 26 colleges and universities in the University System of Georgia. The analysis indicated that of the 368 full-time faculty in the selected business disciplines, 32 held D.B.A.s while 336 held Ph.D.s. Results indicated that while the D.B.A. is a viable degree for those wishing to have a career as higher education faculty, the Ph.D. is still considered the gold standard.

“…La defensa de la tesis doctoral es la actividad culminante del programa de doctorado (MacLennan, Piña y Gibbons, 2018), siendo el grado de doctor la mayor titulación que se puede lograr en el ámbito universitario (Curiel-Marín y Fernández-Cano, 2015; Curiel-Marín, Passoni, Olmedo-Moreno y Fernández-Cano, 2018).
