The Business Administration PhD program aims to equip students primarily for academic careers at research-focused universities, and secondarily for research roles in various organizations.
Key program goals include: (1) developing advanced expertise in business functions or applied economics, with specialized knowledge in specific subfields; (2) cultivating the ability to conduct impactful independent research that advances business or economic knowledge; (3) developing effective teaching skills within business or economics disciplines; (4) mastering communication of advanced concepts to academic and professional audiences; and (5) preparing graduates to successfully compete for faculty positions at reputable institutions or high-level professional roles.
Individuals holding master's or professional degrees in fields such as business administration, public administration, economics, law, engineering, mathematics, computer science, psychology, sociology, or physical sciences will find their background valuable preparation for this doctoral program.
Our institution offers the comprehensive academic resources needed to provide doctoral candidates with a well-rounded education, blending both qualitative and quantitative skills essential for today's business education professionals.
If this aligns with your aspirations, a finance degree might be worth considering. For those particularly interested in residential or commercial real estate ventures, this program represents an excellent choice.
Beyond building robust business knowledge, you'll develop creative, data-driven problem-solving abilities. This degree provides a strong business foundation applicable across industries while enabling specialization to differentiate you from other business graduates.
