PhD in Management

The Department of Management seeks doctoral candidates with a passion for understanding how individual, group, organizational, and inter-organizational phenomena affect the management of complex organizations, as well as the intricacies of individual, corporate, and social entrepreneurship. Our doctoral students develop a strong knowledge base in a variety of topics in management, including Organization Behavior and, Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship. The overarching goal is to prepare our doctoral students for successful scholarly careers in academia.

The Management faculty has consistently published in the most influential journals, such as Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, and Strategic Management Journal, among others. Faculty members sit on the editorial boards of prominent journals and are actively engaged in collaborations with business organizations in the region.

We welcome applications from students who hold bachelor's or master's degrees from approved colleges and who show the ability to carry on rigorous graduate study. Previous education in management is not required for admission. Admission is based on applicant's undergraduate and graduate records, letters of recommendation, Graduate Record Examination or Graduate Management Admission test scores, and other material that indicates strong aptitude for graduate study in management. The Department of Management actively seeks applications from qualified minority and female candidates.
