What Are You Looking For (in a Doctoral Program)?


Students in Benedictine University's Ph.D./D.B.A. program in Values-Driven Leadership come from a variety of backgrounds, but share a common interest in leading their organizations profitably, strategically, and ethically. Our executive students commute to campus one weekend a month and for an annual 8-day intensive, enabling them to stay fully engaged in their full-time leadership roles within their companies. Many are CEOs and other C-suite leaders.
