Ph.D. in Business Administration
The Price College of Business Ph.D. is a closely knit, high-quality program stressing solid preparation, collaborative relationships with faculty, support for research and professional travel, and strong placements. Our goal is to provide our students with the necessary knowledge, training, and resources to pursue successful careers in research and teaching that expand the frontiers of knowledge in business disciplines.
We currently have many doctoral students across six divisions:
- Accounting
- Entrepreneurship and Economic Development
- Finance
- Management and International Business
- Management Information Systems
- Marketing
- Supply Chain Management
Application deadline is January 15.
Applications received after January 15 will be considered only on a space available basis.
The average GMAT score of our students is around 700 (this corresponds roughly to a total GRE score of around 328 depending on the verbal and quantitative scores). The average entering GPA of our students is around 3.7. Most of our students already have master's degrees, but this is not a requirement.
Typically all of our PhD students receive an 11-month Graduate Assistantship (GA) position as part of their admission offer. The GA position is a combination of teaching and research and includes a competitive monthly stipend. The GA appointment includes a Full tuition waiver up to the number of hours required for the degree. Students are responsible for university fees, which are expected to be about $1,000 per year starting in the 2023/2024 school year depending on courseload and stage in the program, generally fees decline over the course of the program. Additionally, incoming PhD students receive a $4,000 research budget to be used over four years for research activities such as conference participation, travel, data, and other research-related needs.
