    Dear colleagues and friends,

    The Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University is currently accepting applications for its PhD program in Management.

    Wayne State University is a Carnegie R1–designated institution, and the Mike Ilitch School of Business has a strong record of preparing doctoral students for successful placement in tenure-track faculty positions at research-oriented universities.

    The PhD program in Management is intentionally small and hands-on, admitting only a few students per cohort. Students pursue one of two tracks: Organizational Behavior or Strategic Management. Faculty take an active role in student development from the first semester through dissertation defense, and doctoral students regularly publish with faculty in premier peer-reviewed academic journals.

    The application deadline is January 15 for Fall admission.

    We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with promising students, colleagues, or mentees who may be a strong fit for doctoral training and an academic career.

    A PDF with our program highlights is attached to this post.

    Thank you for helping us reach future scholars.
