标题: 商院的ＰＨＤ是不是都要求数学水平很高？

比如说我ＧＭＡＴ考了７００的水平能应付的了商院的ＰＨＤ　ＬＥＶＥＬ的数学课（ＣＡＬＣＵＬＵＳ，　ＬＩＮＥＡ　ＡＬＧＲＥＢＡ　ＥＴＣ）吗？

还有的是商院ＰＨＤ那个方向涉及最少的数学应用？？

顶一下！

大学里数学方面的学习成绩还可以，问题是本人工作已经五年，基本上学的东西都全部重新还给老师了呀！据说现在很多研究课题都是要以数学模型为基础的，是不是因此在申请PHD时要求很好的数学基础啊？

金融方向要求肯定很大

但是别的方向就不一定啦

ob至少应该不大吧

OB and strategy requires less math. You also need to pay attention to the requirement of different universities. Some universities require students to take economics even though economics is useless for OB. If it is the case, calculus must be good.

Ding!!!!!!!!!!!

What about the application for the PHD in accounting?

ACCOUNTING I THINK ALSO WILL BE A LOT MATH. HOW ABOUT ENTREPRENUESHIP??

for finance (financial economics) guys, you won't be taught calculus, linear algebra. instead, those would be reviewed in one or two weeks time before your first sememster starts, which is called 'math camp' by some universities. on top of that, nasty courses including real analysis(metric space, basic topological space, measure theory and integration theory), will be taught parallel to some microeconomic courses (at MWG level). For asset pricing guys, you need measure and integration theory, then probability theory, then stochastic analysis.

Accounting depends on which concentration. Economics requires high levels of math but behavioral science requires less.

Entrepreneurship. Different universities have different requirements for math since entrepreneurship can focus on strategy or OB.

Accounting yes. Behavior research is really going down now and the mainstream is empirical research.

Thanks so much to SM1.

And there is another question about PHD in accounting, since you are so familiar with this issue.

I want to apply for HD in accounting, although I graduated from an ordinary university with the bachelor degree majoring in international accounting and without any papers published, I want to become a professor which is my idea, so I should try my best for the idea, but which concentration is better for me since I have no strong math background? and what level universities should I select to apply? BTW, there are some highlights during the five years' work experience which may be one advantage for me, and now I work as a team leader in a 500-fortune company.

Thanks again.

You can choose accounting phd program that has a behavioral track, such as Drexel (Ha! advertising time). If you choose behavioral track, normally ANOVA and other simple statistical skills are needed. Accounting professors like to do experiments. However, there are some core courses you must take in year one, such as economics and statistics. So calculus is still compulsory although calculus is useless for your further research.

Accounting Review is a top tier journal for behavioral track accounting. You can read some papers to understand the needs of accounting research. In addition, you can see which universities those professors are now. This information may help you target universities. Of course, the assumption is that those universities have behavioral track in accounting.

sm1, are you currently doing a PHD now??? since you are so famililar with the contents of the PHD programs, if you are, can you write a posting on the life of a phd student in the US? because i am considering pursure the PHD after complete my MBA.

thanks

cey23213, thank you for your suggestion. If I have time and mood, I will. However, I have many research projects to do. And the first priority of my life is to do research.

This is a good answer to 'what is PhD life like'.
