Doctoral Program

Welcome to the Doctoral Program at the Department of Business Administration. The objective of Ph.D. in Business Administration is to provide students with the necessary skills to identify and research complex issues within the field of management. Our doctoral program has been founded on the four cornerstones: Research Excellence, Student Initiative, and Student/Professor Contact.

Research Excellence

The Department of Business Administration is committed to the development of highly qualified researchers trained in the latest research methodology and producing original research work.

Student Initiative

The program fosters independent, creative work on the part of its students. With a minimum of formal requirements, students are encouraged to determine their own direction under the guidance of their advisory and thesis committees.

Student/Professor Contact

The Department of Business Administration encourages close, personal contact between faculty and students. Small-sized classes and the committee format provide doctoral students with many opportunities to exchange with professors. A high professor/student ratio ensures that professors can devote substantial time and energy to student development.
