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

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

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

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Eller College of Management l www.eller.arizona.edu/academic/doctoral
The management information systems (MIS) department at the Eller College of
Management pioneered one of the first MIS programs in the world. The department
is one of only three programs in the U.S. that has been ranked among the top five
since the inception of these rankings in 1989 by U.S. News and World Report.
The faculty consists of highly productive and leading scholars in various areas
of MIS research. Working under faculty supervision, our Ph.D. students typically
complete a significant number of publications in referred conferences and
well-known journals.
The program starts with a solid foundation in research methodology, offering a
unique synthesis of state-of-the-art technologies and approaches from artificial
intelligence, computer science, computer-supported collaboration, economics, behavioral
science, and management science. There is a mix of hands-on and theoretical
work through which students learn how to implement, deploy, and evaluate
management information systems that are of interest to academia and industry alike.
Applicant Qualifications
Students must have at least an equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree and strong
knowledge of a high-level programming language. A master’s degree is not required
for admission. Students must have a GMAT score of 650 or above or a GRE score
in the 90th percentile or above for an application to be considered. International
applicants must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and receive a
score of 600 (paper based) or 250 (computer based) or higher. The TOEFL score must
be less than two years old at the time the student begins his or her first class.
Recent Placements
Since 1974, the department has placed over 150 Ph.D. graduates in MIS at many
prestigious universities such as Carnegie Mellon University, Harvard University,
Pennsylvania State University, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of
Michigan, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Pennsylvania. Ph.D.
students were also placed in Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Hewlett
Packard, IBM, and government agencies such as, the National Science Foundation,
the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Navy.

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