Research Resources
The overriding feature of the five doctoral programs within the University of Texas McCombs School of Business is the emphasis on high quality research. The goal is to educate students in the most advanced theories and research within their chosen fields so that they can be leaders in the creating and dissemination of new knowledge.
Ph.D. students are provided with excellent support for work in their field due to the development of a "critical mass" of talent among the School's faculty for each doctoral program. All of the Ph.D. programs also provide excellent opportunities for multidisciplinary research that cuts across functional disciplines in the school and across departments in other colleges and schools within the University.
In addition, the School houses several research centers that conduct sponsored and often multidisciplinary research. These centers give doctoral students the opportunity to work as research assistants and to use the projects as the basis for their dissertation research.
