About Us
Success by the numbers
The PhD Project was founded in 1994 with the goal of creating more role models in the front of business classrooms. We’ve made tremendous strides toward that goal:
- Since 1994, we’ve helped more than 1,500 members earn their doctoral degree and currently have 240+ students in PhD programs.
- Ninety percent of members complete their business PhD, compared to the national average of 70%.
- Most of our members go on to work in higher education upon graduation, with a 97% retention rate, compared to the national average of 60%.
- PhD Project members are in leadership roles at their institutions.
Our Program
Leverage our expansive network of partners, professionals, and universities so they can continue to help individuals earn their PhDs to teach and inspire the next generation of business leaders.
