    Program Description

    The Lundquist College of Business doctoral program in marketing develops scholars who will be productive researchers and effective teachers at leading colleges and universities throughout the world.

    The program emphasizes analytical training in marketing and quantitative methods along with economics or the behavioral sciences. It equips students to conduct original research on important problems that are of interest to both academics and practitioners in the field of marketing.

    PhD students actively and regularly participate in informal research discussions and present their own work. PhD students also take part in research seminars given by the faculty and by invited faculty from other universities.

    The faculty in marketing have received doctoral training at leading business schools and behavioral science departments. They are active researchers who publish regularly in high quality scholarly marketing journals. Many have or currently serve in editorial positions with prominent journals and are widely recognized. Many have had their research recognized with national research excellence awards.
