Sample Curriculum
The ISOM PhD program is designed to be completed over the course of five years without interruption, including summers. The goal of the program is to produce high-quality academic researchers. Students are expected to take an active role in the life of the ISOM group. Students take classes in the first two years, followed by the comprehensive examination. They work on summer research papers under the supervision of a faculty member during the first two summers. It is expected that the paper developed during the second summer will become a part of their dissertation. Following successful completion of the comprehensive examination, students continue the dissertation work.
Below is an example of class sequence in the program. The actual class sequence can be tailored to the student’s background and research interests.
