“It is impossible to capture everything I’ve learned at the EMBA program at FIU in a few sentences, but I would definitely encourage future executives to seek the same course. EMBA has taught me not only the hard side of organizational capabilities, namely operations and processes, but also very strong concepts about teamwork and leadership. EMBA has taught me leadership is about character - who I am, not what I do. I’ve learned how to combine value-based leadership with the rigor of challenging executive-level graduate business education, and had fun doing it!”

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD)

The PhD in Business Administration is a highly selective program aimed at preparing you for a career in academia at a research institution anywhere in the United States and abroad. FIU PhD students have gone to teach at prestigious and well-known universities. In fact, our alumni have recently been placed at schools like but not limited to: Penn State University, Fordham University, Babson College, Texas A&M International University, HEC Montreal, University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and New Mexico State University.

The program is a research-oriented academic degree with the goal of arming you with the knowledge and analytical tools required for conducting, gathering and communicating research, while helping you become a more effective teacher.

The PhD in Business Administration requires, on average, four years of full-time study. That includes two-and-a-half years of coursework, summer projects, and a year-and-a-half of dissertation research.

Your program will be individually tailored, but offers you a high level of student/faculty attention and interaction. Our professors mentor and advise doctoral students, especially during the dissertation process.

DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS

CREATING A GLOBAL EDUCATIONNETWORK AROUND THE WORLD

Two countries, two different degrees, in less time and for less money than getting degrees sequentially; does this

sound like the graduate program you’ve been searching for? The Dual Degree Program allows you to do just that. In

today’s increasingly global economy, it’s important to have an international base of knowledge.

The Dual Degree program enables you to get a global business perspective by earning a

graduate degree at FIU and a second business degree at one of our 30+ partner schools around the world.

Students will live in foreign destinations, learn from international faculty, and have two different sets of

networking opportunities and contacts, which are invaluable when it comes time for employment or future

potential business partnerships.
