TBSL - PhD Programs at the Drucker School, Claremont University

The Ph.D. in Management program is designed to allow advanced students to participate in an ongoing program of knowledge creation at the Drucker School. The program is intensive, with high expectations for publication and scholarly contribution. The objective is “to create and disseminate knowledge relevant to critical issues affecting management practice worldwide.”Except in rare cases, applications are not accepted for the Ph.D. in Management program until after a student has completed appropriate graduate coursework at CGU. Those interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Management degree at the Drucker School who do not hold an MBA should first apply to the MBA program or one of the school’s Executive Management programs and successfully complete at least one year of coursework. Individuals who already hold an MBA or Executive Management degree from another institution are strongly encouraged to earn an Executive Management Certificate at the Drucker School.Admission is highly competitive. Only a few students are accepted each year. To be admitted, an applicant must secure a sponsor from our core faculty and present a detailed Plan of Study developed with the sponsoring faculty member. Applicants must have extensive familiarity with research in progress at the Drucker School. Those who have not completed Claremont Graduate University's master's or executive management program are therefore less likely to be admitted.Recent (within five years of application) GMAT scores of 600 or higher and consistently high grade point averages in prior academic work are minimum requirements.The Ph.D. in Management program requires completion of 72 semester units of coursework, including 24 semester units of management courses, a minimum of 12 hours of research methodology at the doctoral level, and a maximum of 12 hours of independent study with the sponsoring faculty member. After completing at least 32 units, but not more than 48 units, a major paper of publishable quality, equivalent to a Master’s thesis and demonstrating breadth in the chosen research area, is required. The sponsor and two additional faculty members administer an open oral examination. Upon successful completion of these requirements and all remaining coursework, a second paper, which serves as the dissertation proposal, is required. The student’s doctoral committee, consisting of the faculty sponsor and two other eligible members of the faculty, administer a second, open oral examination. Successful students are then “advanced to candidacy.” To complete the Ph.D. program, the student must submit and successfully defend the dissertation within seven years from the date of admission to the program.For additional information regarding University Ph.D. requirements see the Admissions website.Recommended reading for prospective Ph.D. students is Rhythms of Academic Life, Peter Frost and M. Susan Taylor, Sage Publications, 1996, available through Amazon.com.PhD in Financial EngineeringOverview Financial derivatives are continuing to play increasingly important roles in modern finance, not only with regard to the management of global investment and corporate risk, but also as a means for designing better personal investment and estate planning portfolios. Necessarily, this makes the design of such products more difficult, placing in higher demand experts trained in the advanced mathematics and investment techniques of modern finance.A Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MSFE) or comparable degree provides only part of the training such experts will need as they work to analyze, price, and invent the innovative products that modern personal, corporate, and global finance will demand. This training, which can lead to the creation of new knowledge in the field, is appropriately achieved through the depth and breadth of study undertaken in the pursuit of a Ph.D.RequirementsAll Financial Engineering Ph.D. students are required to first complete the 48 unit MSFE program at CGU with at least a 3.0 GPA, take 2 advanced (300 level) mathematics courses as part of their MSFE electives, and pass two written preliminary examinations: one in the mathematics of finance, based on the 4 MSFE core courses in mathematics, and one in advanced finance, based on the 4 MSFE core courses in finance. Upon successfully completing these examinations, students are required to take an additional 24 units of advanced course work, independent study, and directed research in mathematics and finance. During completion of the final 24 units, students are required to pass their last two preliminary examinations: one based on their advanced course work in mathematics, and one based on their advanced course work in finance.Upon completion of the last two written preliminary examinations and the 72 total units, students select a qualifying committee of 4 professors consisting of at least one faculty member representing the School of Mathematical Sciences and at least one representing Finance at the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management. The oral qualifying examination is administered by the qualifying committee to examine the student's preparation for research in his or her chosen area of Financial Engineering. Upon Successful completion of the oral qualifying examination, the student is advanced to the candidacy for the Ph.D. At this time, the student chooses a dissertation committee of 4 professors, which much be co-chaired by a School of Mathematical Sciences faculty member and a Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management faculty member in Finance. The completed Ph.D. dissertation, based on the research outlined in the oral qualifying examination, is defended before the dissertation committee.AdmissionApplications are not accepted for the Ph.D. in Financial Engineering. Those interested in the degree must first apply for admission to the MSFE program. Upon completion of 32 units of coursework toward the MSFE, students may apply for admission to the Ph.D. Admission is not guaranteed, and is based on a student's entire record.source: http://www.cgu.edu/pages/1886.asp]
