About this programme
A Ph.D. in the SC Johnson College of Business is a research-focused degree in one of our main faculty areas of specialization as listed below. These are disciplines that are key to any business and are taught at different course levels by expert faculty in each of our three schools. The choice of which of our three school-oriented fields of study to apply into depends on your interests and long-term plans. A Ph.D. in the Dyson School’s applied economics and management field has a strong economics focus in its coursework, a Ph.D. in the Nolan School’s hotel administration field applies core business disciplines to hospitality contexts, and a Ph.D. in the Johnson School’s management field appeals to students pursuing traditional business topics. Students in all three fields regularly work with faculty from across the entire college.
