Program description
Degree awarded: DBA  Global Financial Management

China is globalizing at an astonishing rate. This pace of change is profoundly affecting not only China's domestic situation, but also the global economy.

The DBA in global financial management is an applied professional doctorate designed for senior corporate leaders and government officials in China who are seeking a terminal degree alternative to the traditional doctorate intended for those pursuing an academic career. The leaders emerging from this program are prepared to transform China's economic structure and financial markets and shape the future of China's leadership roles in the global economy.

All such initiatives depend on the development of human capital --- the catalyst for all. Hence, the Doctor of Business Administration program is designed to sustain and amplify leaders who aspire to effect transformative changes in this exciting and dynamic global environment.

This program is offered by the W. P. Carey School of Business and Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance.
