The PhD program in information systems (IS) prepares students for an academic career of scholarly research and university-level teaching. From studying human-computer interaction, online reviews and social media design, to IS implementations and strategy, doctoral students explore real-world IS problems using a variety of methods, including surveys, experiments, archival, and analytics.
The Information Systems (IS) PhD fosters creative thinking and a practical, problem-solving approach to behavioral and strategic issues commonly addressed in the field of information systems.
Our program provides students with a strong foundation in the current practice and new opportunities in information systems studies. Research in our program targets the intersection between the implementation, design, and use of IS, and business applications of IS, to produce managerially relevant research. Our goal is to develop outstanding researchers and teachers who make substantive contributions to scholarship and to place them in academic research institutions
The doctoral program is successful because it offers:
We welcome applications from individuals who are intellectually curious about the development and application of IS and are eager to pursue a career in academia.
