necessary skills for academics and research in the field of POM. The POM
doctoral student degree plan is carefully designed to provide a
theoretical basis for advancing the state of knowledge in Production and
Operations Management. Students are encouraged to pursue advanced studies
in POM, as well as one research method seminar course. More advanced,
specialized courses make up the balance of the POM doctoral program

Most
Ph.D. students are offered research or teaching assistantships (TA). Most
of these positions involve 20 hours of service per week teaching undergraduate courses in the student's
area of doctoral study. The
stipend for a TA is currently about $16,391 for ten and one-half months of
service. The amount of the stipend raises annually. An out-of-state
resident who receives an assistantship qualifies for in-state tuition. |
