Do you want to be your own boss? Have flexible hours designed around your needs? These are a few of the perks when working in academia — you are responsible for your own productivity, on your own schedule. The typical research faculty teaches three or four classes a year and spends the remaining time working on research.
To truly be successful in a PhD program, you must be passionate about research. PhD programs are time-consuming and can be stressful, and you need to love what you are doing to succeed. If you dream about a career devoted to research and teaching, a PhD is for you.
JSOM is the perfect environment to begin your research career, with outstanding faculty mentors, a low student to faculty ratio and a commitment to research excellence. Full-time students receive a research fellowship early in their stay at UTD that allows them to get a heads tart on their research career.
The University of Texas at Dallas is a relatively young university, officially launched in 1969, with the first PhD in management awarded in 1977. The prestige of the program was quickly established, with graduates taking jobs at top-ranked institutions all over the world..
Getting into a good PhD program is a bit like dating. Some programs are attractive but may not be a good fit under the surface. Finding a good match is important. Competition is fierce, and there is no one-size-fits all.
Will I receive financial support? Will I have free time? How many hours will be spent on work and classes? Are there any social activities available on campus? These are common questions as students begin the process of applying to a PhD program.
