Our doctoral program has great faculty. Although it was a challenging experience, I always felt supported by our faculty who encouraged me to submit and present my work at top conferences and workshops in our discipline. Having the opportunity to work as a Research Assistant throughout the program was also a great way for me to build a working relationship with my advisor, with whom I continue to collaborate."

“Joining the Vackar college of Business and Entrepreneurship’s PhD program did not only change the trajectory of my academic and professional path but also brought me many successes. After three years of course work, research, and conferences, today I stand a proud alum and Vaquero. My ability to navigate the PhD program was due to the outstanding support system and resources specifically tailored to meet both my research interests and academic needs. The school’s responsive culture towards students’ needs is remarkable. Without their continuing support I would not be the researcher and professor I am today.”
