About the program
The Ph.D. in Business Administration at the UPR-RP is an intensive full-time program focused on research and dedicated to the development of top level academics. Our program provides personalized attention given our small class sizes, combined with faculty dedicated to top level research. The doctoral program undergoes constant assessment to maintain a cutting edge curriculum, while our faculty works closely with the students to provide the needed mentoring in preparation for careers in research intensive academic settings. International visiting faculty often teach courses, while research brownbag presentations are held during the academic year.
Students in the program build a research portfolio as core and concentration courses require the preparation of conference and journal articles. Similarly, students are required to complete at least one teaching assignment in addition to taking teaching preparation seminars. On many occasions students are provided with support to attend national and international conferences.
