Credit Hours:
1
Estimated Hours Per Week:

Overview

This is the first part of a two-part mentoring session (BA-M802A and BA-M802B) where you will immerse yourself in conducting the first phase of the literature review for your DBA project. While each DBA project is unique to the individual, the process of writing it is common to all doctoral students.

Emphasizing the peer-to-peer mentoring model, you will be engaged in leading a weekly graduate seminar discussion, teamwork with other members of the cohort, as well as projects that involve the entire cohort. The faculty mentor will provide guidance and feedback to all students, both individually and as a group.
