Course Sequence Sample

SEMINAR SCHEDULE – All Doctoral Program seminars are usually offered in the same terms (spring or fall) and quarter as shown in the table below. Part B seminars are offered every other year, while all the others are offered every year. Courses in the gold shaded blocks are required of all Marketing Program students. All students must also take the Part A seminars. Students only need to take some of the Part B seminars depending upon if they choose the Behavioral or Quantitative track.

SAMPLE SEMINAR SEQUENCE – Each student’s schedule will vary, depending upon which electives and basic courses they choose. The sample schedule below illustrates when students should take the Marketing seminars. The blue highlighted course numbers are the Quantitative Track seminars. The red highlighted course numbers are the Consumer Behavior Track seminars. Part B seminars alternate every other year, so this sequence will vary depending upon the year a student enters the program. In the sequence table, “even year” means the course will be offered when the calendar in that particular quarter, ends with an even number. 

The non-marketing courses listed in this table will vary for each individual student. See the PhD Program Requirements for the list of non-marketing courses that are available to satisfy the Basic course requirements in Economics and Statistics.
