Overview

The Management program from the Columbia University prepares students for careers in scholarly research, and graduates take jobs primarily in academic or research institutions across the world.

Research

After passing the qualifying exam, students will develop and submit a research paper by the summer after their second year. The paper must be of sufficient quality to be submitted to a conference or journal.

Students will present their paper at a divisional seminar. In addition to generating original research as part of their dissertations, students typically work with faculty on other research projects with the aim of having published a paper--or several if they are is organizational behavior--by the time of their graduation.

Students also work closely with faculty and in classes to develop their oral and written capacity to communicate their research to different audiences. In addition, routine professionalization workshops are held throughout the school year to familiarize students with the responsibilities and norms of academic research positions.

Programme Structure

Coursework

Doctoral students begin the first year of the program by taking a series of PhD-level courses that provide an overview of theory and research across the entire field of management.

In addition, advanced doctoral seminars are offered throughout the year by various faculty members.

Core course sequences in sociology, social psychology, and industrial organization economics are offered every year in the disciplinary departments, along with advanced courses that focus on special topics, such as network analysis (sociology), decision making (psychology), and game theory (economics).

Students also take a sequence of required quantitative methods courses in statistics and research design.

Almost all students also continue their methods training through electives in specialized methods in areas ranging from experimental design and panel data analysis to natural language processing and big data.
