Immerse Yourself in a<br />
CULTURE OF LEARNING<br />
A Ph.D. in management or economics<br />
will prepare you to succeed in<br />
research and teaching. But at The<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arizona</strong> and the <strong>Eller</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong>, we believe<br />
the journey is as important as the<br />
final destination <strong>of</strong> a great job<br />
at a prestigious institution.<br />
Our suite <strong>of</strong> Ph.D. programs centers<br />
around critical advantages that will<br />
form the basis <strong>of</strong> your lifelong<br />
pursuit <strong>of</strong> knowledge: the resources<br />
and reputation <strong>of</strong> a top-notch<br />
Research I university; a tight-knit<br />
community; and most importantly,<br />
a support system headed by faculty<br />
mentors who are invested in your<br />
success — who will work to create<br />
peer-to-peer partnerships based<br />
on a shared research interest.<br />
The Ph.D. is a degree for individuals<br />
with the intellectual ambition to<br />
formulate new conclusions through<br />
research and experimentation<br />
and the drive to spark change by<br />
articulating those conclusions in<br />
the classroom and in publication.<br />
It is a degree that gives you the<br />
freedom to ask fascinating<br />
questions and the methodology<br />
to answer them through<br />
self-directed exploration.<br />
At the <strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong>,<br />
you will immerse yourself in the<br />
topics that feed your imagination<br />
and the problems you are driven to<br />
solve. You will teach classes. You<br />
will formulate an original dissertation.<br />
You will join a valuable network<br />
<strong>of</strong> research leaders in your<br />
field. And you will emerge with a<br />
doctoral degree — as an expert in<br />
your field and a true colleague in<br />
the pr<strong>of</strong>ession.<br />

ECONOMICS<br />
<strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong> l www.eller.arizona.edu/academic/doctoral<br />
The <strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong>’s economics faculty has long been among<br />
the world's best in experimental economics and in economic history. The<br />
department also maintains a strong focus on microeconomics, particularly<br />
industrial organization and labor economics.<br />
In addition to a concentration in financial economics, we also <strong>of</strong>fer a Ph.D. in<br />
agricultural and resource economics in conjunction with the Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Agricultural and Resource Economics.<br />
The Department encourages extensive faculty-student interaction by maintaining<br />
a relatively small doctoral program and by selecting students whose interests<br />
are consistent with our faculty members' research.<br />
This faculty-student interaction generally leads to productive research collaborations;<br />
nearly every student who has received a Ph.D. in the Department has<br />
written articles jointly with one or more <strong>of</strong> the Department's faculty members.<br />
Applicant Qualifications<br />
Applicants must have a bachelor’s<br />
degree or equivalent from a<br />
recognized institution. Students are<br />
expected to have completed and<br />
performed well in courses that<br />
correspond to the UA courses in<br />
microeconomics, calculus and<br />
vector calculus, and linear algebra.<br />
Application requires GRE (Graduate<br />
Record Examination) scores.<br />
International applicants must take<br />
the Test <strong>of</strong> English as a Foreign<br />
Language (TOEFL).<br />
Recent Placements<br />
The doctoral program is relatively<br />
small, and when students complete<br />
the program the faculty makes<br />
extensive efforts to place them in<br />
positions that match their skills. The<br />
department’s graduates have accepted<br />
faculty positions at UC Irvine, UC<br />
Riverside, Washington <strong>University</strong>,<br />
Ohio State, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Florida, and<br />
many others. Others have accepted<br />
post-doctoral research positions<br />

FINANCE<br />
<strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong> l www.eller.arizona.edu/academic/doctoral<br />
The doctoral program in finance at the <strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong> primarily<br />
prepares its graduates for careers as university pr<strong>of</strong>essors, with research agendas<br />
in corporate finance, financial institutions, and market microstructure, and the<br />
pricing <strong>of</strong> financial securities. The faculty members, with degrees from internationally<br />
recognized universities, conduct research in these areas. Students have<br />
opportunities to work with faculty through small classes and ongoing research<br />
projects to develop the methodological and analytical tools needed for research<br />
and teaching.<br />
The duration <strong>of</strong> the program is approximately four years, with the first two years<br />
<strong>of</strong> study dedicated to coursework in finance and economics. After completion <strong>of</strong><br />
the first year <strong>of</strong> study, students demonstrate their competency in economics<br />
through a minor exam in economic theory or econometrics. Students also begin<br />
to formulate research projects <strong>of</strong> their own and present a research proposal to<br />
the faculty during the second year <strong>of</strong> study. The emphasis during the third and<br />
fourth years <strong>of</strong> the program is on writing a dissertation and coursework in a<br />
more narrow area <strong>of</strong> interest, demonstrating the student's ability to produce<br />
advanced research in finance.<br />
Applicant Qualifications<br />
The finance department admits<br />
highly qualified, motivated, and<br />
quantitatively-skilled students<br />
interested in pursuing independent<br />
research projects. Admission<br />
depends on the student's ability to<br />
complete the program as evidenced<br />
by his or her undergraduate record<br />
(minimum GPA 3.50), GMAT (minimum<br />
650) and/or GRE scores, and<br />
letters <strong>of</strong> recommendation. The<br />
department awards research and<br />
teaching assistantships to help<br />
defray the student's expenses.<br />
Recent Placements<br />
Recent graduates have gone on to<br />
teach at institutions including<br />
Southern Illinois <strong>University</strong><br />
Carbondale, SKK Graduate School<br />
<strong>of</strong> Business at Sungkyunkwan<br />

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS<br />
<strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong> l www.eller.arizona.edu/academic/doctoral<br />
The management information systems (MIS) department at the <strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Management</strong> pioneered one <strong>of</strong> the first MIS programs in the world. The department<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> only three programs in the U.S. that has been ranked among the top five<br />
since the inception <strong>of</strong> these rankings in 1989 by U.S. News and World Report.<br />
The faculty consists <strong>of</strong> highly productive and leading scholars in various areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> MIS research. Working under faculty supervision, our Ph.D. students typically<br />
complete a significant number <strong>of</strong> publications in referred conferences and<br />
well-known journals.<br />
The program starts with a solid foundation in research methodology, <strong>of</strong>fering a<br />
unique synthesis <strong>of</strong> state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art technologies and approaches from artificial<br />
intelligence, computer science, computer-supported collaboration, economics, behavioral<br />
science, and management science. There is a mix <strong>of</strong> hands-on and theoretical<br />
work through which students learn how to implement, deploy, and evaluate<br />
management information systems that are <strong>of</strong> interest to academia and industry alike.<br />
Applicant Qualifications<br />
Students must have at least an equivalent <strong>of</strong> a U.S. bachelor’s degree and strong<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> a high-level programming language. A master’s degree is not required<br />
for admission. Students must have a GMAT score <strong>of</strong> 650 or above or a GRE score<br />
in the 90th percentile or above for an application to be considered. International<br />
applicants must take the Test <strong>of</strong> English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and receive a<br />
score <strong>of</strong> 600 (paper based) or 250 (computer based) or higher. The TOEFL score must<br />
be less than two years old at the time the student begins his or her first class.<br />

MARKETING<br />
<strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong> l www.eller.arizona.edu/academic/doctoral<br />
The marketing doctoral program at the <strong>Eller</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong> is full-time<br />
and requires four to five years <strong>of</strong> work. Students are provided with foundations<br />
for the field including marketing theory, strategy, distribution channels, modeling,<br />
consumer psychology, and consumer culture theory. In addition, the marketing<br />
Ph.D. program requires each student to build on the basic program elements<br />
and develop a scholar's perspective and mastery <strong>of</strong> an area <strong>of</strong> specialized study<br />
in which the student seeks to make a significant, original research contribution.<br />
Only a small number <strong>of</strong> Ph.D. students are admitted each year, enabling students<br />
to work closely with faculty members and acquire a solid foundation in theory<br />
formulation, research design, and methodological skills.<br />
The department faculty consistently publishes in top-tier journals such as<br />
Journal <strong>of</strong> Consumer Research, Journal <strong>of</strong> Marketing, Journal <strong>of</strong> Marketing<br />
Research, and Marketing Science. The faculty has many publications that have<br />
received over 100 Social Science Citation Index total citations and/or won significant<br />
awards. Both are good indicators <strong>of</strong> the impact <strong>of</strong> a scholarly contribution.<br />
A total citation <strong>of</strong> over 100 is considered exceptional; many scholarly articles<br />
are cited less than a dozen times. Faculty members regularly serve as associate<br />
editors and editors <strong>of</strong> top journals and serve on multiple editorial boards and<br />
as elected <strong>of</strong>ficers in international marketing and consumer associations.<br />
Students are required to master the tools and methods <strong>of</strong> empirical research,<br />
and to demonstrate competence in conducting empirical research. Further,<br />
students are also required to develop strong teaching skills such that they can<br />
communicate their sophisticated understanding <strong>of</strong> marketing to others who are<br />
less knowledgeable. Students enjoy minimal teaching loads, small class sizes,<br />
close faculty mentoring relationships, a collegial atmosphere, competitive<br />
funding for research and conferences, and access to a variety <strong>of</strong> support tools<br />
for research and teaching, including an expansive subject pool and the Decision<br />
Behavior Laboratory. The program is designed to be flexible so that it can meet a<br />
student's individual pr<strong>of</strong>essional interests and educational objectives within the<br />
program's overarching objectives and structure.<br />
Applicant Qualifications<br />
Applicants must meet admission<br />
requirement <strong>of</strong> both the Graduate<br />
<strong>College</strong> and the department <strong>of</strong><br />
marketing. Minimum requirements<br />
include a 3.0 GPA with emphasis on<br />
upper-level undergraduate and<br />
prior graduate-level academic<br />
performance, bachelor’s degree,<br />
math pr<strong>of</strong>iciency (college calculus<br />
plus introductory probability and<br />
descriptive statistics), and GMAT<br />
scores. International applicants must<br />
take the Test <strong>of</strong> English as a Foreign<br />
language (TOEFL) and receive a<br />
score <strong>of</strong> 600 (paper based) or<br />
83 for the iBT (web-based test).<br />
