Network of Support

A strong support network is a key success factor in the journey to a Ph.D. Having the encouragement and insights of other doctoral students and faculty members is invaluable. Only those who are on, or have already followed, the same path truly understand the challenges and opportunities of reaching your goal.

That’s why The PhD Project created member associations to support doctoral students and faculty who are pursuing – or have received – business doctoral degrees in Accounting, Finance & Economics, Information Systems & Sciences, Management and Marketing. That’s one big reason that the completion rate among our doctoral students is over 90 percent, as compared to a less than 70 percent national average.
