Switching tracks in marketing PhD

[deep007]

Hi,

I am joining CMU Tepper Marketing as a PhD student in fall 2017. I wanted to know how the tracks for incoming students are decided. Is the behavioral / quantitative track in marketing decided by the school for me or can I choose it? I believe the qualifiers are different for each track.

 

Thanks,

Deep

This is a question that you'll want to ask someone at the school. You may be able to find out this information by reading the Graduate Student Handbook for CMU Tepper.

Thanks for the reply @rising_star! Turns out this information is not clearly given in the handbook. In general, is it possible to switch tracks (I mean the tracks only within marketing here) after admission, after all interests may change!

Yes, Tepper allows for switching tracks or even switching areas of study after admission.
