Operations and Information Systems (OIS) students develop expertise as scholars in either Operations Management (OM) or Business Analytics (BA). The program provides foundational knowledge in both OM and BA, along with specialized training in at least one area. These disciplines frequently overlap, as both concentrate on analyzing and enhancing business operations. OM and BA academics typically work within the same academic units and professional organizations. The OIS PhD program prepares graduates to conduct and publish cutting-edge research, equipping them for careers at research-focused universities.

Qualification Requirements

Letters of reference:
The applicant must have three letters of reference evaluating an applicant's capability for original research.

Statement of purpose:
In two to three pages, applicants should identify what specific topics within the specialization they are currently interested in and why. They should also describe their relevant skills and past experiences, tentative plans upon completion of the program, and any additional information that is felt would be useful. The statement of purpose helps us identify a suitable supervisor, but is non-binding in that it need not eventually form the basis of the applicant's research.

The applicant should include education and work history, as well as publications and conference presentations in this document.
