Business Administration: research doctorate records.

Research this field and level

Official classification: Business Administration and Management, General.

A program that generally prepares individuals to plan, organize, direct, and control the functions and processes of a firm or organization. Includes instruction in management theory, human resources management and behavior, accounting and other quantitative methods, purchasing and logistics, organization and production, marketing, and business decision-making.

Compare the core business curriculum and concentrations. Accounting, finance and marketing may be separately classified; an institution-wide award record does not identify the concentration you want.

This selection is the source research/scholarship doctorate category, award level 17. The file does not provide the exact degree title, so it does not identify every award as a PhD or confirm a supervisor, research opening or funding offer. Verify the actual qualification and current research application route.
