In 1994, The PhD
Project created peer associations to sustain a high level of
commitment and a sense of connection among minority
business doctoral students. There are now five minority
doctoral student associations covering all the major areas of
business education:
- Accounting
- Finance
- Management
- Marketing
- Information
Systems
African- American,
Hispanic-American and Native American business doctoral
student are invited to be a member of one of these
associations.
To date, the
dropout rate, notably high among the business Ph.D. student
population, is less than 5 percent for members of The PhD
Project doctoral student associations. Continuing growth of
these associations is now an integral part of The PhD Project.
These associations provide networking, peer support,
mentoring, and joint research opportunities. This
website will provide you with valuable information including:
schedule of upcoming conferences, tips for surviving the
doctoral program, research and publications, position
announcements, etc.
To be eligible
for membership in one of the doctoral students associations
you must be:
- African-American,
Hispanic-American or Native American
- U.S. citizen or
permanent U.S. resident
- be in a full-time,
AACSB accredited business doctoral program in the United States
If you are not a member
of one of The PhD Project Doctoral Students Associations
and meet the criteria outlined above, please send

be happy to assist you. If you know someone who
is not a member but should be please forward their name
