MBA, DBA, and Ph.D is Business Admin.

<p>MBA will significantly increase the salary compared to someone who's only completed B.A.</p>

<p>However, I haven't heard of much people who's approached DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) or Ph.D in Business. </p>

<p>In many perception, Doctorate Degree is THE HIGHEST level of degree possible in the current education system, and naturally the salary goes up.</p>

<p>Does this also apply to Business Administration?
I mean, someone who has B.A. will start as Associate at a Consulting or I-banking firm.</p>

<p>Someone with MBA will start at the Management Level.</p>

<p>Will someone with a DBA or Ph.D start at a higher level than MBA?</p>

<p>Is there a difference between the two?</p>

<p>sorry wrong board.
plz erase this :)</p>

<p>B.A. grads generally start as analysts(fancy name for number cruncher). MBA+ start as associates(if they are good at it).</p>

<p>DBA and Ph.D in business are academic-oriented.. good for teachers, but not as practical in real life since it's not a professional degree.
A degree in business administration is not great for quantitative occupations. If you want to do finance, better get a Ph.D in math/physics.
If you want to be a manager, then (afaik) MBA is the degree to get.</p>

I don't think that makes sense.</p>
