Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Business Administration

University of Cincinnati

The Lindner College of Business PhD program is an apprenticeship-style model in which our students learn the history and current state of research in their area of concentration and then conduct original research in order to advance knowledge in their field and transfer that knowledge to others via teaching. To ensure our doctoral students achieve these goals, they begin working closely with faculty members their first day in our program. The primary mission of the Lindner PhD program is to train future business school faculty who not only teach in and across the disciplines in which they work, but also advance knowledge in those disciplines through the generation and conduct of original research. That is a key reason why our PhD graduates go on to excel at both public and private business schools across the United States and around the globe.The program is designed to provide the background and skills necessary to conduct independent research and to prepare the student for a primary career in academia (research and teaching). Areas of concentration include: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, Marketing, and Operations/Business Analytics/Information Systems.
