Walsh College in Troy again has been named to the CEO Global ranking list.
Specifically, Walsh College is included in the 2026 Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) Ranking, an annual list highlighting top-tier doctoral business programs around the world. Inclusion in the listing is based on the following criteria: accreditation, quality of faculty, geography, and international standing.
This year’s Global DBA Listing is designed to showcase the market’s premier DBA providers.
“Today’s doctoral education must do more than advance knowledge. It must prepare leaders to apply that knowledge to the challenges organizations face right now,” says Dave Schippers, provost and chief academic officer at Walsh. “At Walsh College, we listen to the market, engage with industry, and continually incorporate emerging areas of practice into our doctoral programs.
“We also have modernized the doctoral learning experience,” he says. “Rigor does not require unnecessary complexity. Walsh provides clear, structured processes that allow accomplished professionals to focus on meaningful scholarship, applied research, and real-world impact.
“This approach includes preparing leaders to use artificial intelligence thoughtfully, responsibly, and ethically while preserving the human judgment, critical thinking, and leadership technology cannot replace. This recognition reflects our commitment to rigorous, relevant, and modern doctoral education.”
Suzy Siegle, president and CEO of Walsh, says, “Being recognized again among the world’s leading DBA programs is a tremendous affirmation of the quality of our students, faculty and our approach to applied doctoral education.
“What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that our DBA is designed around the future of leadership, combining rigorous doctoral education with practical application and real-world impact. We are proud to see Walsh College’s commitment to transforming professionals into leaders who create meaningful change recognized on a global stage.”
