Faculty & Program Leadership

Program Leadership

The EDBA is directed by Rafael Teixeira, Ph.D., located in the School of Business at 5 Liberty Street — ready to guide prospective students and cohort members through curriculum, research direction, and career development. 

Faculty Approach
Our faculty model emphasizes the “scholar-practitioner” — experienced educators and business professionals who bring both academic rigor and real–world relevance to the classroom. Through a hybrid format blending online coursework with in-person residencies, faculty mentor students through advanced research methods, dissertation design, and applied business problem-solving.

Why Our Faculty Model Works

  • You’ll learn from instructors who understand the complexities of modern business leadership and have applied experience.

  • Faculty guide you in producing dual-impact dissertations that yield both academic publications and practitioner-focused deliverables.

  • Small cohort size ensures personalized attention, meaningful mentorship, and long-term professional relationships.
