Our groundbreaking Master of Arts in Philosophy & Master of Business Administration dual degree program uniquely integrates rigorous business education with timeless philosophical and theological principles, deeply rooted in Western classical thought and Catholic social doctrine.

We combine flexible, online learning with a transformative summer institute that helps students develop both the keen business acumen and the virtuous moral framework needed to lead communities, businesses, and teams to genuine human flourishing.

This dual degree graduate program equips graduates to think well and to act strategically, making decisions that balance organizational prosperity with the Common Good. We equip our graduates - whether they are working in the business world, preparing for law school, or taking the next step in their career - to be ethical leaders who understand both the "means" of business operations and the deeper "ends" of human purpose and community wholeness and holiness.

A Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) from the University of Mary equips business leaders to enact innovative and effective solutions to complex business challenges, all within the deeply Catholic conviction that business and industry exist to serve the Common Good, foster civil society, and promote authentic human development in an evolving global economy.

Designed to be completed online by busy professionals, our curriculum connects directly to your career. Instead of a traditional dissertation, our practical-minded DBA students complete an applied research project that brings real-time, genuine improvement and data-driven solutions to their current organization or workplace.

Drawing from Catholic social thought and centuries of insight into human flourishing, the students of each DBA cohort support each other and deepen their commitment to becoming virtuous leaders who envision business not just as a force for profit and prosperity but also a force for good … for Life.
