“UTD's multidisciplinary program offers the flexibility to research across diciplines. Although demanding, the expertise and encouragement of the faculty creates
a rich and insightful learning environment. The uniqueness of this program is a competitive advantage we're engouraged to take advantage of.“
- Erin Pleggenkuhle-Miles, 2nd year, PhD Student OSIM
“The OSIM PhD program produces very well-trained, well-rounded academics. The core curriculum instills a deep understanding of organizational theory and strategy, and more specialized courses exist in social network theory, organizational behavior, entrepreneurship and international business. In talking with other programs, I realized that these resources are quite rare, and enable us to graduate with more competitive training. The breadth of research interests represented by the faculty is also a unique advantage in that it allows students to define a very personal research agenda that leverages different, seasoned backgrounds from faculty whose doors are always open to us. The program also offers almost daily exposure to interdisciplinary research and practical career seminars, through invited-talks and “brown-bags”. A last important element lies in the student culture amongst. Although we are all very collaborative, we always push each other intellectually.”
- Theodore A. Khoury, 4th year, PhD Candidate OSIM
