Doctorate in Business Administration option in Entrepreneurship

The business administration Ph.D. option in entrepreneurship produces graduates who can meaningfully advance theory and practice within the discipline of entrepreneurship and contribute to the pedagogical development of the field. The doctoral program is personalized to reflect the intellectual interests of the students while capitalizing on the strengths of our entrepreneurship faculty. Students are afforded the opportunity to generate and publish research with faculty mentors and receive active support in facilitating their own research. The OSU program is intended to be small, selective and rigorous. Although our core emphasis is innovative, growth-oriented ventures, we seek students interested in entrepreneurial behavior in all of its manifestations, including start-up, corporate, social and public sector contexts.
