The Department of Supply Chain Management is seeking applicants with an interest in purchasing, operations management, or logistics for our doctoral program in supply chain management. This unique program draws from the expertise of over twenty outstanding faculty members and the resources provided by two industry/university research centers. The objective of the Ph.D. in Business Administration with a concentration in Supply Chain Management is to prepare scholars to conduct high-quality research and to teach in the field of supply chain management with an emphasis in purchasing, operations management, or logistics. It is a full-time residential program for those whose career goals include full-time university research and teaching at leading business schools.

Students will develop the capability to review, analyze, conduct, and publish research through a series of research seminars and courses that supplement and complement each student’s background, abilities, and aspirations. Doctoral students receive financial support through teaching and/or research assistantships. In addition, doctoral students may work on ongoing research projects in conjunction with faculty members in the Supply Chain Management Program, with CAPS: Center for Strategic Supply Research (formerly CAPS Research)- an affiliation between the College of Business and the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM).

During residency, each student will have opportunities to conduct research and teach under the tutelage of a faculty member, to have sole responsibility for teaching a course, and to conduct dissertation research. As a result, students will have a variety of experiences that enhance their prospects for success as faculty members at leading institutions of higher education.
