What is the difference between a PhD and a DBA (or DHA, EdD, DNP, DMFT)?

The Applied vs Theoretical Doctorates document, which explains the differences between doctoral degrees, is located in the Essentials section of the Dissertation Center. 

If you are looking for a document in the Dissertation Center and can't find it, please contact your Chair or The Graduate Studies Support Center (GSSC), formerly known as the Center for Teaching and Learning.
