Qualification Requirements
All applicants are expected to be graduates of an accredited American college or university or a foreign institution determined to be equivalent, and to have achieved acceptable grade point averages in all prior undergraduate and graduate studies. Applicants must submit scores on either the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Records Examination (GRE).
The following prerequisites should be met upon application, or shortly after entry, to the PhD Program:
Mathematics and Statistics: Working knowledge of differential and integral calculus, matrix algebra, probability, sampling, estimation, hypothesis testing, experimental design, and regression.
Economics: Intermediate level knowledge of microeconomics and macroeconomics.
Business Administration: Introductory level knowledge of the following areas: accounting, finance, marketing, business policy, operations management, public policy toward business, and business law.
Students entering the program may have acquired the knowledge by formal course work, self-study, or work experience. Some students with otherwise strong credentials are admitted without meeting all of these prerequisites. Such students usually make up their deficiencies by taking more courses than students who meet the requirements upon entry. Applicants with a recently awarded MBA degree are normally considered to have met these entrance requirements.
Students must demonstrate competence in:
A foundation in research methodology (including statistics) and economics or behavioral sciences
A major area of concentration within business administration, and an allied area of minor concentration
Designing, executing, and completing a significant research project
Teaching in their area of interest
