Bentley University offers PhD programs in both Accountancy and Business (with specializations in Information Systems, Business Analytics and other areas), and we are currently accepting applications for our fall 2017 cohort.  We anticipate admitting up to four highly qualified students in the area of Information Systems in our next intake.
Bentley is unique in its strong commitment to Information Systems, with three departments specializing in IS research and teaching: Information and Process Management, Computer Information Systems, and Information Design and Corporate Communications. Successful applicants would be advised by a faculty member in the department most closely aligned with the doctoral student's interest areas, and would be encouraged to intermingle with faculty and students across all three departments and elsewhere across the University.
Bentley is a global leader in business education, located just 10 miles from the heart of Boston.  We are one of only two doctoral programs in the United States located in an institution accredited by both AACSB and EQUIS, and the only doctoral program in the United States who is a member of the European Doctoral Association in Management and Business Education (EDAMBA).  Our graduate and undergraduate programs in business are consistently ranked among the best in the country.
The Bentley PhD program aims to prepare students for tenure-track positions at research-oriented universities. Our PhD program is offered on a full-time basis. We support our students with free tuition and health insurance, plus a generous stipend for the first four years, with a fifth year of funding possible. We also provide students with research and conference travel support.  At Bentley, we care about the success of every student and take a highly personalized approach to doctoral education.  We provide an interdisciplinary understanding of business and in-depth knowledge in a student's chosen field. The PhD in Business includes a full range of methods and analysis courses, including qualitative and quantitative. In line with Bentley's reputation for teaching excellence, students also attend a teaching workshop to prepare them for their future instructional responsibilities.
