The PhD Program in Business Administration is a research-based program designed to train scholars who will be knowledgeable about new developments on the frontiers of their discipline, capable of contributing to the advancement of knowledge relevant to business education and practice, and skillful in conveying this information to students and practitioners. The program was created primarily for students interested in academic careers, although this training is also useful for individuals seeking research positions in business and government, as well as in consulting firms.

We are offering a Master of Science in Business Administration (MSBA) degree upon completion of the course requirements and passing the major area written examination while in the PhD Program.

Please join us at the following DocNet PhD Forum and PhD Project Annual Conference.
(DocNet is a consortium of Doctoral Programs in Business.)
