What is the EDBA? DBA and EDBA degrees have been growing in popularity in Europe and now in the US in recent years. The degree is a terminal degree, similar to the PhD, but often for a different demographic group and with a different career path. Thus the DBA is a popular choice for those making a career shift later in life or seeking a new challenge. Although both degrees qualify the recipient to teach at the college level and conduct research, the PhD degree is usually more research focused and theoretical while the DBA is more applied.
