The objective of the PhD in Business Administration is to prepare you for a career in academia by building your understanding of the substantive domains and literature within your selected area of concentration. The PhD program provides you with the methodological and analytical tools required for executing research and creating knowledge. It develops your skills in formulating, conducting, and communicating quality research. In the process, it also fosters your ability to teach effectively.

The PhD program typically requires four years of full-time study: two-and-a-half years of coursework and summer projects, and a year-and-a-half of dissertation research.

You will take a minimum of sixteen courses, with at least six of them in your chosen area of concentration. You also will complete summer research projects under faculty supervision.
