Michigan State's Ph.D. in Management program equips students for academic careers at leading research institutions. This rigorous program fosters individualized research paths through close collaboration with Broad College's distinguished management scholars. Our doctoral curriculum focuses on cultivating researchers with expertise in both broad management principles and specialized concentrations. Students can specialize in one of three areas: organizational behavior, strategic management, or human resource management.
The program's coursework spans diverse management subjects. Full-time residency is required throughout the typically five-year duration. After completing coursework, candidates must pass a comprehensive management exam and produce an original dissertation showcasing independent research capabilities. Earning a Ph.D. signifies the recipient has attained advanced scholarly competence and can conduct autonomous research while teaching at the university level.
