The Ph.D. program within the Department of Management has a concentration of core courses in management and a set of specialization courses in organizational behavior. The program prepares students for academic faculty positions in organizational behavior both in the U.S. and internationally. The program is small (3-5 full-time students are admitted each year) to provide students the opportunity to work with world-renowned faculty on individualized research projects. This personal attention extends to the small, research-oriented doctoral seminars that form the core of the academic program and to the opportunity to meet outstanding faculty from throughout the world who visit campus to participate in research colloquia and programs sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) housed within the School of Business.
