Welcome to the PhD Program in International Management Studies. IMS was the first graduate degree offered by the Jindal School of Management starting in the 1970s and has remained a center of excellence ever since.

Our program is deliberately kept small. All admitted students are offered a competitive assistantship package consisting of a stipend and a tuition scholarship. Since 2005, all of our graduates have secured tenure-track assistant professorships at business schools that offer graduate degrees, such as Babson College, City University of Hong Kong, Northeastern University, Oregon State University, Tsinghua University, University of Missouri, and University of Nebraska. During and shortly after their tenure in our program, they have successfully published in AMJ, AMP, APJM, ETP, JBV, MIR, MS, OS, SMJ, and many other leading journals.
