Management and/or Organizational Behavior PhD thread


Recommended Posts

I got informal acceptance and invite to visit BU and so then had to send email to Temple to find out what my status with them is. Apparently, I was also accepted there informally.

Just out of curiosity, was this for the OB/HR PhD program in the business school at Temple? I was under the impression they were closed to PhD applications this year (I had wanted to apply last year but they weren't accepting applications, and the prof I spoke to wasn't sure when they were re-opening the program. The strategic management dept is very different, and I've heard some not-so-great things about it, but that's a different story).

Also, if you want any informal info about the program, I have heard quite a few things from previous prospective students and professors who are familiar with the management department.

As of Feb. 25th, Columbia was still planning on having a "recruiting weekend" according to a professor in the department who was responsible for composing their first short list. Their plans may have changed since no one has heard about a fly out yet. They could just be a couple weeks behind schedule this year.

I was wrong, Columbia is interviewing this year. Their interview is all day on March 25th and then there is a dinner on March 26th.

I am seriously considering an offer from University of Maryland. I like that the OB faculty is ranked high on research productivity and my research interest (leadership) is aligned to the faculty's expertise.

Anyone else considering Maryland?

Has anyone accepted an offer yet? If so, where are you going?

Hi All,

I just received a rejection from Indiana for the OB/HRM program, so hopefully those waiting to hear will get good news! I have already accepted an offer from UMass Amherst for their Org Studies program and am excited to be heading there this fall. I also previously received rejections from University of AZ and Case Western, and assume I will receive the same from Pitt and GW. This has been an interesting process and I really appreciate those who post on these boards - you all kept me sane! :rolleyes:

This is slightly off-topic, but I'm planning on applying to PhD programs in OB in the next year or two. Is there a forum, site, etc. where people post their stats? I would really like to get a good sense of what is needed so I can start working on a strong application. Thanks!

Probably the highest traffic of all the Business PhD forums out there. I post there under the same name; the site as a whole, though, is definitely geared towards Economics Ph.D. and MBA.

Is there a difference btw Industrial Organization/Organizational Behavior and HR Management programs? It seems more of you are applying to IO schools but I'm wondering if they'll equip you with the same tools/knowledge as an HR management business program? I'm looking for a hands-on/career training program in HR versus the academic/PhD/professor route of the IO programs.
