Ph.D. in Organizations & Strategy:Introduction

 

Imagine an academic career…..

• Imagine the opportunity to train future business leaders at the frontiers of knowledge.

• Imagine a lifetime of searching for answers to questions that make a difference to the world of business practice.

• Imagine yourself as a university professor of business.

The UT Ph.D. in Organizations & Strategy is designed to make these dreams a reality.  Our highly trained faculty, each outstanding in his/her own field, are here to assist students seeking careers as business school faculty. Our Ph.D. program will provide outstanding, highly motivated students with the theoretical knowledge and methodological skills necessary to make a difference to future generations of students and business leaders.

Commitment to research and a passion for teaching….these are two of the qualities that distinguish our faculty. And these qualities will distinguish graduates from the The University of Tennessee Ph.D. concentration in Organizations & Strategy. Colleges of Business throughout the  nation will soon be in short supply of well-trained faculty members with broad backgrounds and experiences.  Now is the time to imagine an academic career at the University of Tennessee, Department of Management, Concentration in Organizations & Strategy.
