Doctor of Philosophy in Management Science
Curriculum
Management science is defined as the
use of economics, behavioral science,
mathematics and statistics to conduct
rigorous scientific research. The PhD in
Management Science degree program
encompasses both theory and empirical
analysis and is characterized by a high
ratio of research faculty to students, which
fosters close working relationships.
The program requires students to
choose from one of the following areas
(concentrations) of study:
• Accounting
• Finance
• Information Systems
• Marketing
• Operations Management
The program features core and elective courses that provide students a thorough understanding of
management principles. Coursework incorporates a broad outlook into the study of business theory
and practice while providing flexibility that enables students to pursue their interests. A sequence
of PhD seminars exposes students to traditional and emerging research issues, and students are
encouraged early in their graduate work to be involved in research projects with experienced faculty.
Students quickly identify and develop research ideas and create their own research agenda.
Career Options
Graduates of the program seek positions such as: professor, researcher, public or private-sector
consultant.
