SOUTHFIELD—Lawrence Technological University has announced the launch of two innovative, fully online doctoral degree program, the Doctor of Health Sciences (DHS) and the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA).

Designed for driven professionals ready to lead in a digital world, both programs blend flexible online delivery, technology-infused curricula, and real-world research to prepare students for the highest levels of impact across healthcare and business.
Doctor of Health Sciences (DHS): Leading healthcare in the digital era
Created for clinicians, educators, and administrators, LTU’s DHS program emphasizes digital health, data-informed decision-making, and equity-driven leadership.
