At Isenberg’s PhD program in marketing, we’re passionate about understanding consumer and corporate behavior. We believe our line of inquiry delivers a deeper knowledge about our psychology, and informs us about how we can evolve as a society.
Our goal is to generate distinguished scholars and revered professors, and to assist our students as they make advancements in the field. Our department has experts in consumer behavior, various areas of public policy (e.g., health, sustainability and privacy), social media, and sales management.
In particular, we support our students by offering:
- Close interactions with faculty—students work with a variety of different faculty who have open door policies
- Cross-disciplinary training—students have access to a wealth of strong faculty in departments outside of marketing, and take much of their coursework from experts in complementary fields
- Dual focus on research and teaching—students receive training in how to conduct high-level, scholarly research, and also gain teaching experience through leading classes and engaging with faculty mentors
We welcome applicants who are motivated, personable and just as curious as we are to understand and analyze why people do what they do, why firms act or react, and why economies flounder or soar.
