Description:

The Ph.D. program is central to the mission of the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba. Our commitment to the program since its inception in 1990 has remained strong and will continue as we foresee the need for Canadian-trained academics increasing in the future. The AACSB accredited program has already fulfilled the expectations of students and faculty and continues to attract highly qualified individuals who are interested in developing their research and teaching skills. Although small by most standards, the program is able to provide close and continuous contact between students and faculty. Students are mentored, not only in their research program but also in the development of teaching skills. Students successfully completing the program have proven that they have the abilities necessary for competitive job placement in respected universities.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    The Ph.D. program is very selective; only highly qualified applicants are admitted. The program design assumes that students have completed an MBA degree or its equivalent. Students without an MBA may be required to take additional master's level courses or to demonstrate equivalent knowledge in the core. It is preferable but not mandatory that students taking an MBA in anticipation of the Ph.D. elect the thesis option where possible.
