Students in our PhD programs are encouraged from day one to think of this experience as their first job in business academia—a training ground for a challenging and rewarding career generating rigorous, relevant research that influences practice.

Our doctoral students work with faculty and access resources throughout HBS and Harvard University. The PhD program curriculum requires coursework at HBS and other Harvard discipline departments, and with HBS and Harvard faculty on advisory committees. Faculty throughout Harvard guide the programs through their participation on advisory committees.

How do I know which program is right for me?

There are many paths, but we are one HBS. Our PhD students draw on diverse personal and professional backgrounds to pursue an ever-expanding range of research topics. Explore more here about each program’s requirements & curriculum, read student profiles for each discipline as well as student research , and placement information.

The PhD in Business Administration grounds students in the disciplinary theories and research methods that form the foundation of an academic career. Jointly administered by HBS and GSAS, the program has five areas of study: Accounting and Management , Management , Marketing , Strategy , and Technology and Operations Management . All areas of study involve roughly two years of coursework culminating in a field exam. The remaining years of the program are spent conducting independent research, working on co-authored publications, and writing the dissertation. Students join these programs from a wide range of backgrounds, from consulting to engineering. Many applicants possess liberal arts degrees, as there is not a requirement to possess a business degree before joining the program

The PhD in Business Economics provides students the opportunity to study in both Harvard’s world-class Economics Department and Harvard Business School. Throughout the program, coursework includes exploration of microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, probability and statistics, and econometrics. While some students join the Business Economics program directly from undergraduate or masters programs, others have worked in economic consulting firms or as research assistants at universities or intergovernmental organizations.

The PhD program in Health Policy (Management) is rooted in data-driven research on the managerial, operational, and strategic issues facing a wide range of organizations. Coursework includes the study of microeconomic theory, management, research methods, and statistics. The backgrounds of students in this program are quite varied, with some coming from public health or the healthcare industry, while others arrive at the program with a background in disciplinary research

The PhD program in Organizational Behavior offers two tracks: either a micro or macro approach. In the micro track, students focus on the study of interpersonal relationships within organizations and the effects that groups have on individuals. Students in the macro track use sociological methods to examine organizations, groups, and markets as a whole, including topics such as the influence of individuals on organizational change, or the relationship between social missions and financial objectives. Jointly administered by HBS and GSAS, the program includes core disciplinary training in sociology or psychology, as well as additional coursework in organizational behavior.

Doctoral Degrees

A doctoral degree requires the satisfactory completion of an approved program of advanced study and original research of high quality..

Please note that the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Doctor of Science (ScD) degrees are awarded interchangeably by all departments in the School of Engineering and the School of Science, except in the fields of biology, cognitive science, neuroscience, medical engineering, and medical physics. This means that, excepting the departments outlined above, the coursework and expectations to earn a Doctor of Philosophy and for a Doctor of Science degree from these schools are generally the same. Doctoral students may choose which degree they wish to complete.

Applicants interested in graduate education should apply to the department or graduate program conducting research in the area of interest. Some departments require a doctoral candidate to take a “minor” program outside of the student’s principal field of study; if you wish to apply to one of these departments, please consider additional fields you may like to pursue.

Kanbar Institute of Film & Television Graduate Film

Be a part of the next wave..

The Graduate Film program is an intensive three-year conservatory in the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television that trains students in the art of cinematic storytelling. We focus on helping writer/directors develop a narrative voice and the technical virtuosity to express that voice in cinema.

Students learn by doing, in the classroom and on set. They write, direct, and produce multiple films and exercises, shooting and crewing on each other's projects. Our students transition into the professional world with a reel of short films that showcase their talent, a feature film script, and a range of highly sought technical skills.

The Graduate Film Program offers a stimulating, challenging, and diverse creative community in the heart of Greenwich Village. Our faculty are working professionals who are committed to developing the next generation of filmmakers.

RIT graduate pursues Ph.D. across time zones

Nastaran Nagshineh, center, defended her Ph.D. thesis at RIT in April. Faculty from RIT’s Rochester and Dubai campuses served on her thesis committee and include, from left to right, Kathleen Lamkin-Kennard, Steven Weinstein, Nathaniel Barlow, and David Kofke (a professor at the University at Buffalo). Mohamed Samaha participated remotely and appears on the video screen behind the group and alongside Nagshineh’s picture.

Nastaran Nagshineh is one of the first Ph.D. candidates to bridge RIT’s Rochester and Dubai campuses. Her accomplishment creates a path for future students at the university’s international campuses.

Nagshineh completed her Ph.D. in mathematical modeling while working full time as a mathematics lecturer at RIT Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, teaching as many as five classes a semester. She described her Ph.D. journey as “an exercise in perseverance” due to competing demands and long days. Rochester is eight hours behind Dubai, and the time difference meant many late-night classes and meetings.

“I saw this collaboration as an opportunity, rather than as a challenge, because my primary adviser, Dr. Steven Weinstein (RIT professor of chemical engineering), and my co-adviser, Dr. Mohamed Samaha (RIT Dubai associate professor of mechanical engineering), both have the same area of research interest,” she said. “They both worked toward my success.”

Nagshineh is one of 67 RIT Ph.D. students who defended their thesis this academic year and who will earn their doctorate. RIT awarded 63 Ph.D. degrees in 2023.

In 2020-2021, RIT’s Graduate School met and surpassed the university’s goal of conferring 50 Ph.D. degrees during an academic year. That number will continue to grow as students cycle through the seven new Ph.D. programs that RIT has added since 2017, said Diane Slusarski , dean of RIT’s Graduate School.

Meeting these goals puts RIT on a path toward achieving an “R1,” or research-intensive designation, from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Learning. RIT is currently ranked as an R2 institution . Many factors go into changing a university’s status, including research investment and maintaining a three-year average of 70 Ph.D. degrees awarded per year, according to Slusarski.

“We have met the goals of the strategic plan, and now we look forward to contributing to the research innovation in the future,” Slusarski said. “We want to help the new programs thrive and win national research awards.”

RIT’s emphasis on high-level research is seen in Nagshineh’s Ph.D. work. She applies mathematical modeling to the field of fluid dynamics. Her research has been published in top-tier journals and has gained notice, said Weinstein, her thesis adviser.

Weinstein describes Nagshineh’s accomplishments as “a testament to a fantastic work ethic and commitment” and is inspirational to younger students at Rochester and Dubai.

“The collaboration between RIT Dubai/Rochester has continued,” he said. “Another paper was submitted a few weeks ago with Mohamed Samaha and Nate Barlow (RIT associate professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics) as co-authors, as well as Cade Reinberger, a younger Ph.D. student in my research group.”

Mathematical modeling is one of RIT’s newer Ph.D. degree programs, and Nagshineh is among its earliest graduates. The program has doubled in size since it began accepting students in 2017, Slusarski said. This past fall, the mathematical modeling program had 35 students, with two graduating this year.

Altogether, RIT has 13 Ph.D. degree programs currently enrolling 438 students, with computing and information sciences accounting for the largest with 117 students. RIT’s other Ph.D. programs include astrophysical sciences and technology , biomedical and chemical engineering , business administration , color science , electrical and computer engineering, imaging science , mechanical and industrial engineering , microsystems engineering , and sustainability .

New programs in cognitive science and physics will launch in the fall.

The growth in RIT graduate education—with more than 3,000 master’s and doctoral students—reflects a demographic change in the student population, Slusarski said. “We have a higher percentage of women in the graduate programs than we have for RIT undergraduate programs.”

RIT’s graduate programs enroll 42 percent women, according to Christie Leone , assistant dean for the Graduate School.

Nagshineh, who also holds an MS in electrical engineering from RIT Dubai, welcomes her role as a mentor to other women students on both campuses.

“As a young woman in an Arabic country, the power of women is often underestimated and undervalued, and I hope to serve as a role model to female students, especially those that question their path,” Nagshineh said.

She plans to continue in her career as a professor and a researcher. “I would like to pursue a research program where I can advise my own students and teach them more deeply.”

FEATURED SPEAKERS

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT

Greg Tucker '92

ENTREPRENEUR, FOUNDER, VICE-CHAIRMAN, AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF PROAMPAC 

Doctor of Engineering  

Greg Tucker is both a talented leader and a dedicated team player. His résumé highlights how he has navigated between leading and collaborating throughout his career. But what is remarkable about Greg is that he was already accomplished in both these areas long before his professional life took off.   

When Greg was a WPI student, he was a proud and active member of the soccer team, serving as a captain and leading the team to a second-place finish in the Eastern College Athletic Conference. More than 30 years later, WPI records he set for goals scored and points amassed remain unmatched. When he was inducted into WPI’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007, longtime coach Whit Griffith said, “Greg was the most gifted athlete I was associated with at WPI, with absolutely no ego.”  

He was also a member of WPI’s chapter of Alpha Tau Omega, a fraternity that prioritizes leadership development. Even among leaders, Greg stood out: In 1991, his fraternity brothers elected him president. As a recognition of his many contributions to the WPI community, he was honored with the Varsity and Poly Club awards, and he was tapped at the end of his junior year as a member of Skull, WPI’s secret honor society.   

Greg graduated with distinction in 1992 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He went on to complete a two-year management program at General Electric, where he stayed for a decade, steadily climbing the ladder from operations engineer to manager of global manufacturing systems.   

More recently, he founded and is now chief executive officer of ProAmpac, a privately held company that manufactures and sells flexible and sustainable packaging materials. ProAmpac operates 46 facilities and employs 6,200 people worldwide.  

In addition to leading this successful global company, Greg gives back to his local community in many ways. He and his wife have created foundations to support children’s education and development and to provide opportunities for athletes of all ability levels. He is also a member of multiple boards, including the University of New Hampshire Athletic Board, the Northeast Passage Futures Board, and Paragon Films.   

For his leadership of a successful global company that relies on innovative materials science; his generosity to young learners and aspiring athletes; and his unwavering commitment to WPI—both on and off the soccer pitch—WPI is pleased to confer on Greg Tucker the degree of Doctor of Engineering, Honoris Causa .

He is also the chairman of Bangkok Bank (China) and president commissioner of PermataBank in Indonesia.  

A respected leader, he served as the president of the Thai Bankers’ Association, a director of Visa International – Asia Pacific, and chairman of the Southeast Asia and South Pacific Regional Council of UnionPay.  

Mr. Chartsiri has been the driving force behind Bangkok Bank’s initiatives to train science teachers across both Southeast Asia and South Asia, to support communities, and to play an active role in many social development and educational initiatives. His commitment to learning can also be seen through the partnership he helped to establish in 1993 between WPI and the faculty of science at Chulalongkorn University, which continues to this day. In 2008, the Joint Interactive Qualifying Project – Interactive Science and Social Project Collaboration was developed with WPI and has been supported by Bangkok Bank since its inception. 

He has received many honors and awards, including Financier of the Year award from Money & Banking magazine in 2001 and 2019, the Asian Banker Achievement Award in 2005 for Leadership in Thailand and Best CEO in Thailand in 2022 from The Asian Banker magazine, and the Robert H. Goddard Alumni Award for Outstanding Professional Achievement from the WPI Alumni Association. Under his management, Bangkok Bank has been recognized as the Best Bank in Thailand from The Banker magazine and Euromoney magazine as well as Bank of the Year awards from Money & Banking magazine, most recently in 2020.  

For his outstanding leadership in the financial and education sectors, and the positive impact he continues to make in communities throughout Thailand and Southeast Asia, WPI is pleased to confer on Chartsiri Sophonpanich the degree of Doctor of Business, Honoris Causa .

GRADUATE HONORS AND AWARDS

2024 Board of Trustees' Award for Outstanding Research and Creative Scholarship

Jamal Yagoobi

GEORGE F. FULLER PROFESSOR OF MECHANICAL AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING & FOUNDING DIRECTOR, CENTER FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH IN DRYING

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the fields of heat and mass transfer, and his profound impact on academia, industry, and the global research community, we proudly present Professor Jamal Yagoobi with the 2024 Board of Trustees' Award for Outstanding Research and Creative Scholarship.

Professor Yagoobi has made significant contributions to understanding the physical and theoretical mechanisms of drying and thermal processes. He has documented his legacy by an impressive number of publications, accomplishments, and high caliber research. In the words of Professor Yagoobi’s peers - his research and teaching abilities are unparalleled.

An innovator in research, Professor Yagoobi's pioneering work in non-mechanical heat transfer technologies and drying solutions has revolutionized industries critical to our nation's energy and sustainability goals. His establishment of the NSF Industry University Cooperative Research Center, "Center for Advanced Research in Drying" (CARD), exemplifies his collaborative spirit and dedication to bridging the gap between academia and industry. This innovative testbed is actively assisting large and small companies in developing commercial dryers with a zero-carbon footprint. Not only does this facility contribute to the advancement of industrial practices, but it is also an invaluable resource in Professor Yagoobi's teaching activities, providing students with hands-on experience in understanding the energy dynamics of commercial drying processes. Also under Professor Yagoobi's guidance, the Multi-Scale Heat Transfer Laboratory at WPI has emerged as a hub of innovation, yielding groundbreaking research published in top journals and securing patents that have been successfully transitioned to industry.

His unwavering commitment to knowledge dissemination is evident in his prolific keynote presentations and important roles in organizing international conferences. As Head of one of the largest departments at WPI for 11 years, his visionary leadership has propelled departmental enrollment and external research funding to unprecedented heights. During his time as department head, he oversaw the development and spin-out of two new departments, Aerospace Engineering and Robotics Engineering.

Additionally, Professor Yagoobi's pioneering spirit extends beyond the confines of terrestrial research, as evidenced by his remarkable endeavors in space exploration. Collaborating closely with NASA Goddard Space Research Center, he organized an experiment onboard the International Space Station for over 18 months, pushing the boundaries of scientific inquiry beyond Earth's atmosphere.

It is our great honor to recognize Professor Jamal Yagoobi in acknowledgment of his outstanding scholarly achievements and service to WPI. He is a true embodiment of the values of excellence, innovation, and collaboration that define the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In recognition of his unwavering commitment to advancing knowledge and innovation, we honor Professor Jamal Yagoobi with this prestigious award, celebrating his profound impact on academia, industry, and society at large.

St. Cloud State University leaders recommend major cuts in degree programs, faculty

Updated May 7, 9:38 a.m. | Posted May 6, 8:10 p.m.

St. Cloud State University leaders are proposing major budget cuts to programs and faculty to address a budget deficit.

In a meeting with faculty on Monday, SCSU administrators recommended discontinuing 46 of the university’s 136 degree programs, including criminal justice, Spanish, gender and women’s studies, sociology, physics, environmental science and economics.

They also proposed cutting 50 of 85 minor degrees, including African American and American Indian studies. Fifty-seven faculty positions would be cut, or 13 percent of the total.

In an interview Monday evening, acting president Larry Lee said the cuts are necessary to address a structural budget deficit. The university lost $18 million last year and is projected to lose $5.5 million this year — a deficit made smaller by one-time state funding. Without it, SCSU’s net operating loss would have been $15 million, Lee said.

“We just can’t sustain the operation like that,” he said. “We have to align our expenses with our revenues, so we can continue to provide the type of experience that we’ve provided here for a long time.”

In his email to faculty and staff, Lee said higher education is facing “unprecedented struggles” — student enrollment declines, affordability concerns, a proliferation of higher education alternatives, public perception of college degrees and financial strains, among others.

“These circumstances negatively impact higher education, generally, and St. Cloud State University, specifically,” he wrote.

Lee said the university will focus on its 90 strongest academic programs, in which 90 percent of students are enrolled. 

“Students are speaking with their decisions — what programs are growing enrollment or not,” he said. “And we have some programs that just don’t have the enrollment that can support the amount of staffing that we have in that program.”

Students enrolled in the affected programs would still be able to complete their degrees, Lee said.

SCSU had one of its first enrollment increases this year in several years, Lee said, but continues to spend significantly more per year in instructional costs than other universities in the Minnesota State system.

The recommendations aren’t yet final, Lee said. The faculty union will respond to the administration with its comments within the next 10 days. 

Lee took over Sunday from President Robbyn Wacker, who stepped down last week, earlier than her planned departure of June 30. She told officials at Minnesota State that decisions about the university’s long-term operations should be made by leaders who will be there to manage the transition.
