Ph.D. Program Course List

The department offers seminars that cover those areas of marketing in which all Ph.D. marketing students should have basic competence, not only to understand the contemporary literature, but to contribute to the future of the discipline.  The seminars involve in-depth consideration of various aspects of marketing. Ordinarily, a student taking these seminars will have already completed some work in quantitative methods and, perhaps, in behavioral sciences as well. The general objectives of these seminars are to: (1) discuss contemporary research problems and relevant literature, and (2) describe concepts and techniques for handling the research questions, current and future, in each field.
