The Executive DBA Council (Edbac) is an advocacy group formed in June 2011 at an inaugural meeting at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Edbac was formed to foster excellence and innovation in executive doctoral degree programs worldwide with the aim to provide networking and educational opportunities for professionals who serve and participate in executive doctoral degree programs. It is considered to be the world's only collaborative council focused on DBA degree programs and their issues.
Inaugural president of Edbac was Lars Mathiassen from Georgia State University’s Robinson college of business. The current Executive DBA Council President is Dr. Ekin Pellegrini, Associate Dean for Graduate Business Programs at the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
As of October 2024, the Executive DBA Council has 72 Executive DBA Member Schools from 17 different countries.
