Doctoral programs

The Kellogg School of Management strongly believes in an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to doctoral study. This approach directly engages you with the many programs and research faculty found across Northwestern University, one of the nation's leading private research universities.

Our Ph.D. program steeps students in a particular discipline, or combination of disciplines. This training provides great insight into how business works, and a firm foundation from which you can develop excellent conceptual and analytical skills for productive research careers.

Kellogg offers eight fields of study as well as a JD-Ph.D. degree that enables doctoral students to earn a law degree and a Ph.D. degree concurrently.
