Attain a new level of expertise, credibility, and influence—and prepare for greater professional opportunities—with our online PhD in Management, one of the few such programs offered online.

This interdisciplinary PhD in Management program draws upon a broad range of areas to examine in depth the latest management concepts and theories in scholarly literature. In addition, learners are asked to consider new and alternative forms of management and leadership that might be more applicable to the 21st-century digital world. 

Learners will be asked to pose deeper questions, think critically, and challenge conventional wisdom as they explore possibilities for using managerial innovations to promote positive social change. 

Through an intellectually engaging curriculum, students in this program will go beyond passive learning to become thought leaders and active creators of knowledge.
