<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The goal of the Management Information Systems (MIS) Ph.D. program is to develop both research and teaching skills, and prepare doctoral students for a successful academic career. Under
the guidance of the MIS faculty, Ph.D. students explore various aspects of the management information systems discipline. Doctoral students are expected to conduct rigorous research publishable in high quality journals in MIS and related fields such as accounting.
Each student is expected to produce a publishable research paper by the end of his/her second year of study. Accepted students are expected to complete their program of study within four years. Besides research, Ph.D. students are also trained and gain experience
teaching MIS courses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
