Program Design
Graduates earn both a Ph.D. in Economics with the MBA. The program requires a total of 96 units of course work, including approximately half from the School of Politics and Economics and half from the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management. Taken as a dual degree, students save approximately 32 units of coursework, equivalent to an extra year and a half of full-time study.
Students in these dual degree programs come from extremely diverse academic and professional backgrounds. Small classes in both schools insure active participation and dialogue in collegial settings. Mid-career professionals are welcome. The program is offered on a full-time and part-time basis, and merit-based fellowship aid is available.
Transdisciplinary course requirement (T-course)
All doctoral students are required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement during their first two years of coursework. The course will count as four (4) of the regular 72 or 80 units toward your degree— it will not add any additional units to your degree requirements, nor count against the total number of transfer units from previous graduate course work.
Applying to the Program
Students interested in the Ph.D./MBA dual degree program must apply jointly to both Schools. Students who are currently in a Ph.D. program in the School of Politics and Economics, or the MBA program in the Drucker-Ito School may apply to join the dual degree program if lfewer than 16 units have been completed at the time of application. Applicants should demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and excellent scores on either the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), as well as prior professional work experience.
