Kellogg Doctoral Program
Academic Community
PhD study at the Kellogg School of Management is interdisciplinary. To supplement their Kellogg coursework and training, doctoral students attend classes in economics, mathematics, statistics, political science, psychology, sociology, anthropology and other subjects through the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.
The Donald P. Jacobs Center, which houses the Kellogg School and Northwestern University’s Economics Department, is the heart of the economics community at Northwestern. The departments of psychology and sociology are based nearby. Doctoral students interested in operations research often take classes in the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, located just down the street from the Jacobs Center. A collegial environment encourages close working relationships with students and faculty across disciplines. Additionally, Northwestern University is affiliated with the Traveling Scholar Program, which allows students to take classes at other Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago for credit.
The flexible curriculum allows students to create their own research plan under the guidance of Kellogg advisors and affiliated faculty. Additionally, at the dissertation stage, Kellogg requires that one professor on a student’s dissertation committee be from outside of the student’s program. That professor usually represents a student’s minor field of study or is someone who can bring a unique perspective to the student’s dissertation research.
Please explore our doctoral program sites to learn more. Also visit our Research site for information on our research faculty and the academic resources available at the Kellogg School of Management and Northwestern University.
We also encourage applicants to visit our research seminars. Each academic department at the Kellogg School sponsors a weekly seminar series that brings world-renowned scholars to campus to present their research to faculty and doctoral students. A wide variety of topics are covered each week, and doctoral students should try to attend as many seminars at they can.
