Paris Graduate School of Management (PGSM) alumni in Ghana will introduce an accredited Executive Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) program on June 28 at Accra’s Coconut Grove Regency Hotel.
The ESG France-developed program holds Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) recognition, offering senior professionals a locally accessible terminal degree amid Ghana’s crackdown on fraudulent PhD credentials.
The initiative, championed by PGSM’s Ghana alumni association, partners with Renfrew University College to deliver the curriculum tailored for West African executives. Program directors Professor Parber (ESG International Programs) and Dr. José Rizel (Executive DBA Dean) will headline the launch event themed “Reunite, Resolve, Relaunch.”
Alumni president Hugh Aryee positioned the DBA as advancing Ghana’s executive education standards while strengthening professional networks. The program’s GTEC validation distinguishes it from honorary doctorates currently under regulatory scrutiny.
Key context: Ghana’s tertiary regulator GTEC has intensified verification of doctoral credentials since 2024, revoking fraudulent qualifications.
