PhD in Student Research (phd)

Graduates of the NYU Stern PhD program move into academic roles at universities, research institutions, and industry positions.

The PhD program involves a full-time commitment, with students typically completing the course in five to six years. Students focus their research and academic experiences in one of eight fields of study: accounting, economics, finance, information systems, management, marketing, operations management, and statistics.

Students are shaped to be scholars, able to complete research at the same level as their instructors.

Student's course of study is designed by the student and an advisor with the student's specific interests in mind, and there is plenty of room for electives in related areas (e.g., psychology, sociology, computer science, economics, etc.).
