Doctor of Business Administration Program Schedule
Students in Weatherhead School of Management’s Doctor of Business Administration program attend three on-campus residency sessions at Case Western Reserve University and three remote residency sessions.
Each fall and spring semester, there are three on-campus residency class sessions consisting of lectures, discussions, presentations and class assignments, meetings with the faculty and advisors, and participation in specific research interest groups. Physical presence and participation at the on-campus residency sessions is obligatory.
Also, each fall and spring semester there are three remote residency class sessions, which are online engagements. These virtual sessions range from a full (up to eight hours) or a partial (up to four hours) day of virtual class time. The format, along with date and time of the remote sessions, will be communicated by the professor in the syllabus. These remote sessions are important elements of achieving the learning outcomes related to the course.
On-campus residency sessions begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 5:30 p.m., ET except on Saturdays, when sessions begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 3:30 p.m. ET.
