These are the requirements for a doctoral minor for students from other departments:
PhD students at the University of Arizona who are not in the Management and Organizations (M&O) program, but wish to minor in M&O, must take 3 complete PhD courses that are not Master's level courses (i.e., courses in the MBA program or master's programs cannot be used as part of the minor requirement). Additionally, you will also have to take a methods course in our department prior to enrolling (this is in addition to the 3 PhD courses). Finally, a M&O PhD minor requires the completion of a comprehensive style exam or a research paper, both of which are chaired by a tenure-track faculty member of the M&O department. Importantly, this faculty advisor must be identified before any coursework begins to ensure that the student has the support of a faculty member in the department. Approval to begin the M&O minor must be obtained from the M&O PhD program directors after the minor advisor has been selected.
Please note that the structure of courses in the M&O department varies from most departments on campus, in that one "complete" PhD course involves taking a sequence of 8-week courses offered back-to-back within the same semester. For example, students taking Human Resources Management would sign up for MGMT 621 (Human Resources Management I) and MGMT 622 (Human Resources Management II), both of which are worth 2.0 credit hours. This means that a "complete" course in our program that would count towards the M&O minor is worth 4.0 credit hours, versus the 3.0 credit hours of other 16-week courses.
