Overview

Doctoral study at Florida State University is a highly collegial experience, one that involves considerable interaction among doctoral students and faculty. A major vehicle for making this interaction effective is the Doctoral Business Students Association (DBSA). The DBSA brings business doctoral students together to coordinate both academic and social planning.

Academic planning is coordinated through representation of doctoral students on the College of Business Ph.D Policy Committee. The DBSA provides a forum for providing input to the Ph.D Policy Committee on program design, academic policies and procedures and general student issues.

The DBSA schedules social events throughout the academic year involving doctoral students, faculty, and their families. These events provide opportunities for getting to know each other on a more personal basis in a relaxed environment. The number and types of events scheduled each year varies according to the preferences of the doctoral students.

The formal structure of the DBSA consists of a group of officers, elected by the doctoral student body. The officers encourage new doctoral students to become active in the DBSA.
