Overview

Become an internationally respected scholar by working alongside leading market, management, and economic scientists to develop your own unique research catalog.

This tailored PhD program at the University of South Florida helps you become part seer, seeing questions and opportunities others do not, and part detective, sleuthing-out how organizations and markets do, and might someday, work. Mixing such creative and critical thinking will empower you to forge new knowledge that informs business and society.

Career options

The Business Administration program prepares you for various careers that lie at the crossroads of critical and creative thinking together with specific areas of expertise. The most prominent of these careers lie in academia, where you, as a professor, mix teaching and research.

However, other career options exist as well, such as those of business consultant, government agency officer or researcher, and author, knowledge-economy careers that are sometimes combined.

As examples, you might become a financial analyst at a large bank or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or you might become a consumer protection expert at a marketing firm or the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
