The Business Administration PhD program aims to equip students primarily for academic roles at research-focused universities, and secondarily for research positions in various organizations. Key program goals include: (1) gaining advanced expertise in business functions or applied economics, with specialized knowledge in specific subfields; (2) developing skills to perform substantial independent research that advances business or economic knowledge; (3) acquiring effective teaching abilities within business or economics disciplines; (4) mastering communication of advanced concepts to academic and professional audiences; and (5) becoming competitive candidates for faculty positions at reputable institutions or high-level professional roles. Applicants with graduate degrees in fields like business, public administration, economics, law, engineering, mathematics, computer science, psychology, sociology, or physical sciences will find their background provides excellent preparation for this doctoral program.
