The ability to conduct research that makes a contribution to the field of study requires specialization. However, the integration of teaching, research, and practical application requires that the student understand the role of the area of specialization within the larger organizational context. Students are also required to have completed a minimum of one course that covers intermediate algebra and calculus prior to beginning the doctoral program. In addition, students may be required to take additional courses to cover any other deficiencies. Application Information Admission is restricted to applicants who possess the academic and professional qualifications necessary to succeed in the program and to make a contribution to the profession in both teaching and research.
Preference is given to students who fulfill the general business prerequisites of the program.
An interview is highly recommended. The deadline for fall admission is February 15. October 15 is the deadline for spring admissions. Applicants are encouraged to contact the coordinator of the area in which they intend to major to discuss the application process. Click here to download an application.
