The Lindner College of Business PhD program follows an apprenticeship approach where students first master the historical and contemporary research in their specialization before undertaking original studies to push boundaries in their field and share insights through teaching. From day one, doctoral candidates collaborate closely with faculty mentors to accomplish these objectives.
Our PhD program's core purpose is to develop the next generation of business educators who not only instruct within and across their disciplines but also contribute to academic progress through innovative research. This focus explains why our alumni thrive at prestigious business schools worldwide, spanning both public and private institutions.
Structured to equip students with essential research capabilities and academic preparation, the program focuses on cultivating future scholars for careers in higher education (combining research and instruction). Specialization options include: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, Marketing, and Operations/Business Analytics/Information Systems.
