Management (PHD) - Management Information Systems

About

The Doctor of Philosophy in Management with a major in Management Information Systems is the highest academic honor an institution can bestow to its students. The doctoral program is rigorous with an aim to train and prepare students to be critical and creative independent thinkers. An MIS Ph.D. gives students the ability to perform critical analysis of existing work, and to undertake research studies to advance academic understanding in the MIS field during their Ph.D. studies and in their subsequent career.

The Ph.D. degree in Management with a major in Management Information Systems (MIS) is designed to prepare students for teaching and research careers involving the design, analysis, implementation and operation of computer-based information systems and other associated organizational and economic issues. MIS involves the use of computers in organizations and the integration of computing technologies within functional areas of a broad range of profit and non-profit organizations.

The MIS Ph.D. program starts with a solid foundation in research methodology. Building on this, it offers a unique synthesis of state-of-the-art technologies and approaches from Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Economics, Operations Management, Cognitive Science, and Socio-technical networks, to name a few.

Our premier faculty stands ready to mentor students and guide their entry into the many possible avenues of MIS scholarly pursuits. There is a mix of hands-on and theoretical work: the students learn how to implement, deploy, and evaluate information systems and technologies that are of interest to academia and industry alike.
