The PhD program in business administration offers full-time advanced graduate education for students seeking academic placement at leading universities or research-oriented positions in business or government. The program is for individuals who have the intellectual capacity for advanced study, enjoy independent research and analytical thinking, and who wish to master a discipline within business administration.
Non-business administration doctoral students working toward a minor within the business administration program must complete a cohesive program of study in one of seven areas of specialization: accounting; finance; information and decision sciences (including the management information systems and decision science subfields); marketing; supply chain and operations; strategic management and entrepreneurship (covering the subfields of strategy, international management and entrepreneurship), and work and organizations (covering the subfields of industrial-organizational psychology, organizational behavior, personnel and labor economics, and industrial relations).
