Seminars
The Kellogg
School of Management offers 40+ doctoral seminars in a given
year. These courses, which are rooted in statistics, theory,
peer-reviewed literature, and research methodology, are taught
by faculty who are acknowledged experts in their fields. With
enrollments ranging from 3 to 20+ students, these seminars
provide natural opportunities for discussion and the exchange
of ideas.
Doctoral
courses offered at the Kellogg School fall into six categories:
Additionally,
Kellogg’s innovative curriculum responds to current
research trends and theories, so it is not uncommon for a
class to be offered that addresses a particular area of study
or research expertise of a professor who may be visiting the
Kellogg School for a year. For instance, in 2006-2007 three
such seminars were offered in political economy, experimental
economics, and negotiations.
Below
are listed doctoral seminars offered by the Kellogg School
of Management for the 2007-2008 academic year. Specific course
information is available within Kellogg’s Course
Catalog and Schedules.
Please
note that this list of courses is subject to change, and any
inquiries about these classes should be directed to the department.
Interested Northwestern students should register through
CAESAR, Northwestern’s online registration system.
Kellogg
doctoral students also take classes outside of the Kellogg
School in the Departments of Economics, Engineering, Mathematics,
Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Statistics, and
more. Course listings for these subject areas are available
through CAESAR.
