Doctorate in Business Recruiting Forum at the Kellogg School of Management

On November 15, 2006, the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University hosted a Doctorate in Business Recruiting Forum with the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business. The panel discussion was videotaped and is viewable online. Please note: In the question/answer session, a few of the questions from the audience cannot be heard. However, the quality of the information provided seemed to outweigh these technical difficulties.

Discussion Topics:
• What is a PhD degree – course of study and training
• Insights on a career in academia – opportunities and rewards
• Student experience – student life, working with faculty, managing your own research agenda
• Tips on the application process – what schools look for in an applicant
