Hi there,
I am from the EU but live in South America and would like to do an online DBA. Here in SA, degrees from the US are worth a lot when it comes to job offers. It seems there are quite some options, but somehow the ranking of the universities is an enigma. The best I could find are Drexel, Northcentral San Diego, Temple and a lot more. How can I find out which ones are internationally recognized as excellent universities, I read in your article that acredditation is one criteria, but surely not the only one. For me it is important that the programme can be done 90% online that it does not take too long (3 years) and that I really learn something and get excellent teachers and support. Fees are not too much of an issue. I have several years of experience in an executive position but am totally new to the US educational system.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Best,

Michel

Hi Michel,

in the absence of serious rankings on DBA programs, you will have to use other indicators of quality. Please have a look at our [rankings article](https://www.dba-compass.com/rankings/) where we suggest some important approaches.
