A typical course schedule is outlined below. However, you can satisfy your seminar, research methodology and managerial skills requirements in numerous ways depending on your prior academic coursework and research interests.
In your first few years of study, your faculty advisor will help you navigate the curriculum and coordinate with other faculty who can serve as your mentors.
Refer to the PhD Handbook for complete information on all program requirements.
Courses outlined here are for example purposes only.
First-Year Paper: Your required research paper must be completed by the end of the first semester of your second year of study. This paper will preferably be developed into a dissertation or a co-authored paper submitted to a top journal.
Comprehensive Exam: As a doctoral student in the School of Management, you will demonstrate competence in your field by successfully completing a comprehensive examination. You will take your examination following completion of your course requirement, typically taken at the end of your second year of study.
Second-Year Paper: Your required research paper must be completed by the end of the first semester of your third year of study. This paper will preferably be developed into a dissertation or a co-authored paper submitted to a top journal.
Working with your faculty advisor, begin exploring research topics during your first and second year. By your third year and beyond, you're focused on your original research, forming your proposal, researching and then writing your dissertation. Your dissertation usually takes the form of three publishable papers or a longer single dissertation paper.
