Testimonials

As a business executive in global human resources and talent management, and a graduate alumnus of the Executive Doctorate in Business Administration (EDBA) at the Fox School of Business at Temple University, I can say with certainty that achieving the EDBA has been a milestone and considerably beneficial to my career. Being an English Major in undergraduate, an MBA, and 20+ years of professional business experience prior to joining the program, I was not only able to leverage the learning and research into applicable areas of work responsibility, but also to develop and grow in thinking critically about challenges and approaches to research to apply forward in my career. I would strongly recommend the EDBA program without reservation for any leader in business looking to differentiate their experience and credentials, expand their thinking, knowledge, and skills, and for developing research for impact.
