Doctoral Programs
The Doctoral Programs in
Information Systems and Technology Management require a bachelor's degree and
usually a master's degree in a field appropriate to
the proposed field of study. Divided into two major
parts, the program first provides a thorough
understanding of the theoretical foundations and
practices of the field, and develops a command of
relevant methods of research and analysis. In the
dissertation stage, students are asked to apply this
knowledge to the resolution of an original research
question, which will contribute to the existing body
of knowledge. The dissertation phase is considerably
more flexible than at most other schools, allowing
the student wide latitude to design a project that
fits his or her skills, interests, and professional
objectives.
Required coursework, regardless of
primary field of study includes Mgt 390, Philosophical
Foundations of Administrative Research, and the
multidepartmental course 311, Seminar: Public-Private Sector
Institutions and Relationships; PAd 395, Research Methods,
and Mgt 391, Advanced Problems of Research Methodology.
