The PhD
Program in Management and Organizations
The
PhD program in Management and Organizations (MORS) integrates
psychological, sociological and economic perspectives on the
study of organizations and their members. Faculty and students
pursue research on the behavior of individuals, groups, organizations
and groups of organizations, with the goal of advancing theoretical
understanding of these phenomena. The program of study emphasizes
the interplay between theory development and empirical research.
The program is designed to develop the content knowledge and
methodological skills necessary to become a successful and
productive scholar. Students are expected to engage in research
projects throughout the course of graduate study and to complete
a series of coursework.
The Management
and Organizations Department maintains an active training
program for researchers with interests in management and organizations,
theory, and management broadly defined. Our doctoral students
come from a variety of backgrounds, including some with substantial
work and professional experiences, recent MBA graduates, and
others enter directly from undergraduate programs in the social
sciences, business, engineering, and allied fields.
In addition,
the Kellogg School and the MORS department have a strong commitment
to the recruitment, admission, training and placement of women
and minority scholars.
Applications
to doctoral programs at the Kellogg School must be submitted
through The Graduate School and coordinated with the Kellogg
School’s Doctoral
Program Office.
If you
have any questions about the Kellogg School’s doctoral
programs, please contact Susan
Jackman, the coordinator for the doctoral program.
Typical
Program of Study
The hallmark of
the program is a first year curriculum that provides a broad
theoretical background in the disciplines of psychology and
sociology that underlie the theory of individuals, groups,
organizations and their environments. Students complement
this theoretical training by becoming actively involved in
research.
