Florida Atlantic University – College of Business
PhD Program in Management
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!
Why Florida Atlantic University?
The Management PhD program at FAU adheres to a very individual, one-on-one mentoring philosophy. Our students are paired early on in the program with at least one faculty mentor who shares their research interests. The program generally consists of two years of coursework, followed by exams and dissertation. The program takes a minimum of four years to complete. While there are some required classes, students are able to tailor their program of study to their interests through electives.
Our students regularly present their research at prestigious conferences, and many have publications prior to graduation. Job placements are strong, with our students obtaining jobs at peer institutions. Our most recent graduates are at Pennsylvania State – Fayette and at the University of Central Oklahoma.
How do I finance the program?
If admitted to the program, you will receive a $24,000 stipend per academic year, plus tuition waivers. In addition, students often have the opportunity to teach a course in the summer semester for additional pay.
How do I apply?
