Since 1995, Weatherhead School of Management has been at the forefront of engaged management research with its creation of the first executive-level Doctor of Management (DM) program, now offered as the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program. The program was established to offer working professionals a platform to learn how to conduct multidisciplinary and applied research that they can bring back to the world of practice and/or disseminate in the academic world. 

Since 1995, over 300 students have successfully graduated with their DM or DBA degrees and have published some of the most robust practitioner-scholar research papers and books. With this legacy of success and with a strong desire to stay in the forefront of the engaged practitioner field, Weatherhead established the Engaged Practitioner Scholars (EPS) Program as one of the world’s leading practitioner-scholar communities.
