  Indiana Tech creates pathway to Ph.D. for MBA holders

  April 13, 2021

  Indiana Tech has designed a new opportunity specifically for MBA graduates to earn a doctorate in global leadership. This new pathway is specifically designed for MBA students to save a significant amount of time and money in earning a Ph.D.

  The new Pathway to Ph.D. program enables students who have earned a Master of Business Administration from any accredited institution to transfer 15 credit hours of their MBA coursework toward a Ph.D. in Global Leadership from Indiana Tech. MBA graduates will be able to transfer credit for five of the six courses in the new business administration concentration, essentially allowing them to begin the Ph.D. program one-third of the way to completion. This new program is open to Ph.D. in Global Leadership applicants who meet all other program requirements. The first session begins June 27, 2021.

  “This exciting new program is a truly unique pathway to a Ph.D. for MBA graduates,” said Dr. Angie Fincannon, director of Indiana Tech’s Ph.D. in Global Leadership Program. “It’s an innovative approach, making a Ph.D. more accessible than ever for highly qualified working professionals who have demonstrated mastery in business administration. The Pathway to Ph.D. program will save students valuable time and more importantly, is accessible both nationally and internationally as a quality online program. This will allow the expertise of business professionals to gain competitive knowledge in global leadership through an outstanding Ph.D. program.”

  In addition to the new business administration concentration, Indiana Tech’s Ph.D. in Global Leadership program offers concentrations in higher education administration and organizational leadership. With more than 10 years of history, 100-plus graduates, and more than 25 national and international faculty members, Indiana Tech’s flexible online Ph.D. program enables working professionals to become leaders of today and tomorrow.

• Indiana Tech launches new global health leadership programs (Aug 28, 2023)

  Indiana Tech launches new global health leadership programs

  December 7, 2021

  Indiana Tech has launched three new programs in global health leadership: a new master of science in global health leadership degree; a new concentration under its existing master of business administration degree; and a new graduate certificate. The programs are designed to help organizational leaders in business, health care, the non-profit sector, government and more address wide-ranging global health challenges and opportunities.

  All three programs will be offered fully online, starting in January 2022. Classes are enrolling now for the first course sessions in each program, which will begin January 31. Students will learn about topics including global disease management, health care finance, global health leadership, decision-making for global health, and more. Classes in the four-course global health leadership certificate program are also credit bearing; those who earn the certificate can transfer 12 full credit hours into the 30-credit master’s programs at Indiana Tech.

  The curricula for the new Indiana Tech global health leadership programs were developed through a collaboration between Indiana Tech’s College of Business, its Ph.D. in Global Leadership program, and Sue Ehinger, executive leadership coach and former Parkview Health Chief Experience Officer and President of Parkview Hospital & Affiliates.

  Dr. Kate Watland, Indiana Tech’s vice president for academic affairs, noted, “Now more than ever, the need for leaders in global health has never been clearer or more critical. The coronavirus pandemic has only magnified the need for leaders who are prepared to create and implement strategies and solutions to a broad range of global health challenges. With our experience in global leadership programs, our extensive non-clinical health programs, and our long history with technology and analytics, Indiana Tech is uniquely qualified to offer global health leadership programs like these.”

  Sue Ehinger, Indiana Tech executive-in-residence and global health program leader, commented, “Meeting the health care challenges of today and tomorrow will take health care organizations, businesses, community members, non-profits and government agencies all working together. The new Indiana Tech programs are designed to develop that next generation of leaders who can work in collaboration to create more resilient, more responsive and more effective health systems in communities here at home and around the world.”

  The new global health leadership programs add to Indiana Tech’s wide range of programs in health professions. The university’s health information technology and health information management programs are accredited through the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM), while its health care administration and health care management programs are part of its College of Business, accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE).

• Indiana Tech announces Doctoral Certificate in Global Leadership (Aug 28, 2023)

  Indiana Tech announces Doctoral Certificate in Global Leadership

  October 6, 2021

  Indiana Tech has introduced a new Doctoral Certificate in Global Leadership, designed for students who have completed a doctoral program at another institution or those who are currently in the ABD (all but dissertation) stage of their program. It enables students to add a global leadership specialization to their credentials, which is essential for leaders in today’s fast-paced, international landscape.

  The doctoral certificate is comprised of four courses, or 12 credit hours. Students can choose four of six globally focused leadership courses: Leadership Theory and Research; Leading in a Time of Global Change; Communication in Global and Diverse Context; Ethics, Governance and Social Responsibility; Global Leadership Development; and Global Talent Management. Upon completion of the Global Leadership Doctoral Certificate, students will be prepared to critically analyze theories related to global leadership studies, demonstrate a holistic understanding of global leadership and international research, and more.

  “This distinctive level of leadership education with a global focus is more relevant and necessary than ever for top leaders everywhere,” said Dr. Angie Fincannon, dean of the College of Business at Indiana Tech. “It’s exciting for Indiana Tech to offer this unique opportunity to doctorate students who have not had the opportunity to study global leadership within their discipline.”

  To apply to the doctoral certificate program, students must submit proof that they have successfully completed a doctoral degree or submit a transcript as proof of completed coursework for students in ABD. Students must also complete four of the six Global Leadership core courses with a B- or above. Current students, past students or graduates of Indiana Tech’s Ph.D. in Global Leadership program are not eligible to complete this certificate.

  In addition to the doctoral certificate, Indiana Tech’s Ph.D. in Global Leadership program offers concentrations in higher education administration, organizational leadership, and a special business administration pathway for those who have earned an MBA. With more than 10 years of history, 100-plus graduates, and more than 25 national and international faculty members, Indiana Tech’s flexible online Ph.D. program enables working professionals to become the global leaders of today and tomorrow.
