Coursework includes four doctoral seminars in well-defined information systems areas. These seminars offer breadth and depth of knowledge, giving you the opportunity to develop skills in different areas and approaches to information systems research. We also require one teaching course, five research courses and four electives.
Graduate research and teaching assistantships are available to support full-time students. Accepted and funded students are provided a graduate assistantship which covers all required tuition and fees, and pays an annual stipend of $24,000.
