University of North Carolina at Greensboro is now accepting applications from highly qualified applicants for its Ph.D. program in
Information Systems (IS) for Fall 2013. The deadline for completed
applications is February 15, 2013.<br>
<br>
The Ph.D. in Information Systems at UNC Greensboro is designed to
prepare students primarily for careers as members of faculty in
universities and colleges, and as professionals in non-academic research
and professional organizations. The program is innovative in that it
contains several components of a mainstream Ph.D. program, where the
focus is on developing theoretical and empirical research skills, and is
characterized by four distinctive elements that enhance the traditional
model. These are: a commitment to practical relevance; an emphasis on
producing quality teachers; a research apprenticeship requirement; and
interdisciplinary research. <b>We have achieved 100% placement of students who have graduated from our program. </b>For Additional information about the program, faculty, current students, and alumni can be obtained from the website: <a href="http://isphd.uncg.edu" target="_blank">http://isphd.uncg.edu</a><br>
