The management science and systems discipline in the Management PhD program prepares students to become leading researchers and teachers at top universities or executive-level decision makers in industry. Each student follows a slightly different path, depending on research interests, allowing some flexibility to the curriculum.
You must develop or have competence in accounting, economics, finance, marketing, organizational behavior/organizational theory and strategic management equivalent to one first-year MBA course in each area before graduating from the PhD program.
