ITESM PhD  | U de Los Andes PhD  | Tulane-IESA Ph.D. | LA Doctoral Consortium

Ph.D. Program in Business for Faculty of Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia
This project is a faculty development program which provides eligible faculty the opportunity to earn a PhD degree from the Graduate School of Tulane University. It was initiated in 1996. The goal of the PhD program is to provide experienced faculty with the research skills and in-depth knowledge to prepare them for enhanced careers in teaching and scholarly research in an area of concentration in business. The program has 18 faculty in this track.

The PhD curriculum presented here is a custom designed program with concentrations in management, finance and marketing. It is modeled closely after the two track PhD curriculum offered at Tulane University through the A. B. Freeman School of Business. It is comprised of a common core of eight courses covering quantitative analysis and research methodology, and the theory and management of organizations. Beyond the common core, students elect to pursue a concentration in management, or finance, and take eight additional courses in one of these areas. A set of marketing electives offers the students in the management track the option of further specialization in marketing as they approach the dissertation stage of the program.

Upon completion of the concentration, students will take comprehensive exams and prepare a dissertation prospectus. The dissertation phase of the curriculum requires the student to demonstrate their ability to conduct original research in their area of concentration.

This PhD program will be taught by Tulane faculty and doctorally qualified faculty from the selected schools. Courses will be offered at a central location in Latin America and in New Orleans. The program is divided into 12 semesters, including each summer as a semester. The program is comprised of 16 courses in each area of concentration, comprehensive exams, and a dissertation. Two courses will be taken each semester. Upon the completion of 12 courses, participants will receive a Master of Management degree.
