Identification of a faculty advisor: This must be a faculty who holds a tenure-track position in the M&O department. An advisor must be identified prior to beginning any minor coursework, after which the M&O PhD directors should be notified.
Completion of one (1) methods course (worth 4.0 credit hours): Students earning doctoral degrees that are not in psychology, sociology, or a similar field of social science must complete either 653/654 (Field Research Methods I and Field Research Methods II), or MGMT 601/602(Experimental Research Methods I and Experimental Research Methods II) prior to enrolling in any of the doctoral-level content courses. Major degree programs (specifically the research methods and statistics training) will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine applicability if students believe they have met this requirement in their primary department.
Completion of three (3) PhD-level courses (worth 12.0 credit hours, or 4.0 credit hours per complete course): Students must enroll in three PhD-level courses that are not part of the MBA or master’s programs at Eller. They should enroll in the two 8-week consecutive courses that comprise the “complete” course (see above for example).
Completion of a research paper or comprehensive exam chaired by the minor faculty advisor:
Students in the minor program have the following options:
For the research paper: Students must write an empirical or conceptual review paper on a topic approved by their faculty advisor. For empirical papers, this should include the collection of data in order to fully test the central ideas. For a conceptual review paper, this option does not include data, but should still clearly articulate a clear theoretical contribution to the study of M&O.
For the comprehensive exam: Students must partake in an open-note integrative comprehensive exam. Students will be provided 3 questions, of which 2 will be answered. This will also involve an oral defense of the responses provided assuming that the written answers “pass” the student’s committee (often comprised of the faculty who taught the courses the student completed).
*Students are advised to check with the graduate advisor before enrolling in courses. Not all 500 level courses are acceptable doctoral level courses.
