Teaching
In the academic profession, knowledge that is created through research is disseminated through teaching. In the Management Department doctoral program, we emphasize the synergistic effects between research and teaching. Bringing research to the classroom provides our undergraduate and MBA students with useful prescriptions they can put into practice. At the same time the experiences of our undergraduate and MBA students inform the instructors’ understanding of the relevant questions for managers.
Thorough knowledge of the academic literature of a content area, course design, teaching style, and pedagogical techniques are all necessary for success in the classroom. Therefore, all management doctoral students are required to teach at the undergraduate level to gain valuable teaching experience.
All management doctoral students teach one course after completing their coursework and comprehensive exam. Doctoral students are evaluated and mentored in their teaching by a departmental doctoral student teaching review committee. Further teaching opportunities are frequently available based on departmental needs. Students may also be given the opportunity to develop and teach new courses tied to their specific interests at the discretion of the Department Chair. Management doctoral students are given an additional $3000 stipend for each course taught.
