PhD Programs

Welcome to the Manderson Graduate School of Business at The University of Alabama. Our PhD programs prepare graduates for faculty positions in colleges and universities and for research positions in business and government. The primary objective of PhD education is the development of research skills necessary for the creation and communication of new knowledge. A keen interest in scholarly research is a prerequisite for success. Completion of a PhD program usually requires four or five years of full-time study. Part-time or online programs are not available.
