Ph.D. in Management Science
The School of Management grants a Ph.D. degree in Management Science, defined as the use of economics, behavioral science, mathematics and statistics to conduct rigorous scientific research. It encompasses both theory and empirical analysis. Management Science embraces areas of specialization such as marketing, finance, accounting, information systems, operations management, organizational behavior, management strategy and public policy. It has no clear boundaries among the various areas, places emphasis on science and is not constrained by the culture of individual disciplines. It is this underlying orientation of science and integration that distinguishes management science from other philosophies and approaches to the study of management.
