2008管理类博士项目申请总结5 UTDallas International management studies PhD program介绍

UTDallas International management studies PhD program

在拿到该校的电话面试前，对该项目其实了解甚少。后来通过和该项目的教授和博士接触，才了解并喜欢上这个项目的。

UTDallas是个公立学校，学校的排名比较一般。但是管理学院的这个国际管理项目确实不错，应该说是管理领域各分支特别是战略、组织理论在国际管理领域的融合和应用。在answers和wikipedia关于UTD的介绍里都突出强调了这个项目。具体情况请参见附录2。

我个人最后选择这个项目主要基于以下几点考虑：

1。研究实力强。

在这个网址可以查到按照在top journal上论文发表情况的各校排名http://somdev.utdallas.edu/top100Ranking/，可以看到这个项目的教授的研究能力实际上是很强的。面试我的PhD program coordinator光简历就有25页！有n多publication!很年轻，但很活跃，导师强烈推荐他。

2。教授中有好几位focus在中国的管理问题和制度理论的研究，这是我的研究兴趣点。

教授中有4位是中国人，占了项目全部faculty里的1/5，已经很强了。中国学生也很多，前年一共招了2个人，有1个中国人；去年一共招了3个人，有2个是大陆的，有1个是台湾的。

3。Program较小，干活机会多，和教授合作发文章机会多。

博士生较少，所以据说在这儿学生是香饽饽呵，老师都希望你跟着他干活（这也是我后来没有考虑去所谓的名校的原因）。我觉的这样能有更多的involvement，得到更多的锻炼。在这个项目里的教授和博士生合作发表的机会也很多（参见附录1）。

4。整个team感觉很热情。

感觉整个team，包括教授、学生都随时给你提供帮助，乐意分享他们的经验，给你提供很多信息，并且很热情的欢迎你加入他们的program。作为一个申请者，我承认我很在乎别人的态度……

历史

The university was originally started as a research arm of Texas Instruments as the Graduate
                                Research
                                Center of the Southwest in 1961. The institute (by then renamed the Southwest
                            Center for Advanced Studies) was later donated to the University of Texas system by its founders Eugene McDermott, Cecil Howard Green and J. Erik Jonsson. By law, UTD conferred only graduate degrees until 1975. Upper-division undergraduate students were allowed to start enrolling in UTD starting in 1974. Eventually freshmen and sophomores were allowed by legislative decree in 1990.

校园

Although a relatively new campus, it has grown by leaps and bounds. Having more room than the UT System's flagship school, University of Texas at Austin, there is plenty room for growth. Future development for the land can be found in UTD's Master Plan as created in 2003. The area controlled by UTD totals 866 acres (3.5 km²), with half of that (460 acres or 1.9 km²) designated as the real limit to "campus" development. The remainder is held and strategically subdivided and sold over time to increase the University's endowment. 学生主要居住在校内的Waterview公寓。

学校最骄傲的是拥有2名诺贝尔奖获得者，学生队屡次获得全美国际象棋比赛冠军。

For Univ. in Texas

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Texas

The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex has the fourth-largest university in the state—the University of North Texas—along with two UT System institutions—The University of Texas at Dallas and The University of Texas at Arlington, as well as private universities such as Southern Methodist University, which has the Metroplex's largest law school, University of Dallas, and Texas Christian University.

2007年3月UTD获得中国批准，在该校开办孔子学院，并成为德州第一所孔子学院。积极推动在该校设立孔子学院的UTD副校长冯达旋，还特地到新加坡南洋理工大学孔子学院登门取经。UTD将进一步扩大和充实中文教学实力，至少增设两个全职教授职位，借此东风准备把人文学院办成北德州中国文化研究中心，以此带动北德对中国文化及研究兴趣。

学校的中文译名，有人喜欢“德州大学达拉斯分校”，但UT at Austin 就直称自己为德州大学，搞得我们成了他们的分校似的（其实我们本科生的录取线比他们还高！），所以在这个版就叫“达拉斯德州大学”。（砖头！）

1.2 全美第八大城市 “Big D”

一条南北方向的75号高速公路横穿达拉斯。在这条高速公路的两边，散落着一栋栋低矮的厂房和科技园园区，其中驻扎着AT&T、阿尔卡特，华为（约有600多人）、中兴（约有200多人）等鼎鼎大名的电信厂商。因此，这一带也被称为“通信走廊”。学校就与他们比邻而居。2008年春，看到靠近学校waterview路边（HP对面）新建起一栋大楼，赫然刮得就是华为的标志，看来华为自己买地建大楼了，要和100米远的北电-朗讯有一拼！

达拉斯，很多人只知道这是肯尼迪总统被刺杀的地方，以及NBA的小牛队。其实这是一个以石油与高科技在八十年代新兴的城市，很多公司将公司总部设在这里，Fortune 500强今年的第一 Exxon Mobil 就在达拉斯，就在学校边上有信息技术集成商EDS，百货公司J.C.Penny；全球第三大半导体厂商德州仪器(TI)；其他还有Affiliated Computer Svcs；Alliance Data Systems；Kimberly-Clark，西南航空，TXU, Dean Foods, Tenet Healthcare都将总部设在达拉斯。使这个城市非常好找工作。

Dallas is the most mythical city in Texas, with a past and present rich in all the stuff of which American legends - and TV shows - are made. It stands tall as a paragon of conspicuous consumption, a city known for its business acumen, its restaurants and its shopping.

Known for having a healthy ego, "Big D" embraces out-of-towners with high-society polish and Southwestern hospitality. Indeed, Dallas is a study of contrasts. On the one hand, it's a cosmopolitan center, worldly in its interests, dashing and charming. On the other hand, it proudly represents the individuality and steadfast idealism of its Texas birthright.

Downtown, such dichotomies are most obvious. Here, sleek, glass and steel skyscrapers stand alongside architectural gems designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and I. M. Pei. Here, 50-story Reunion
                                Tower affords a bird's-eye view of the modern cityscape, while the nostalgic McKinney Avenue Trolley gives riders an old-fashioned lift Uptown. And here, a museum on the sixth floor of the Dealey
                                Plaza
                                Book
                                Depository
                                Building remembers the life and death of President John F. Kennedy, and, just a few blocks away in the Downtown Arts District, originals by Monet and Matisse are on display at the Dallas Museum of Art.

The business world covets Dallas' no-frills sensibility and big-city savvy; Bank of America, Texas Instruments, Exxon Mobile, Frito-Lay and JCPenney Co. all have major operations in the area. When the time comes to unwind and refresh, however, few places know how to let go quite like Dallas. On nice days, some natives flock to places like White
                                Rock
                                Lake
                                Park, its 1000 acres of woodland ideal for hiking, fishing and bird-watching.

For other folks, the diverse entertainment and shopping scenes are more attractive diversions. In Deep Ellum, east of downtown, live music and the arts have thrived since the 1800s. Honky-tonks and venues like the Gypsy Tea Room welcome packed houses. Greenville Avenue, split into Upper and Lower sections by Mockingbird Lane, has remained a favorite of the young and trendy thanks to a wealth of boutiques, bars and restaurants. Ultra-chic

Of course, any discussion of playtime in Dallas is incomplete unless sports is mentioned. Arlington, to the west, is home to baseball's Texas Rangers, and the NBA Dallas Mavericks have developed a loyal following over the years. But make no mistake: in Dallas, football reigns supreme, from the collegiate action on Saturday to the Cowboys' Sunday slate. Perhaps most surprising to visitors, though, is the enormous popularity of high school football, with Friday night's highlights dominating the Saturday headlines of the Dallas Morning News.

Dallas is 8th largest cities in US, and if the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolises were a nation, its GDP would rank 21st in the world. In 2005, DFW's GDP reached $290 billion, commanding one-third of Texas' GDP. Total world trade in DFW reached $50 billion in 2005, a 67% increase since 2001. Situated at the crossroads of NAFTA traffic, global business in DFW will increase by leaps and bounds in the years to come. There is no doubt that DFW deserves to have a world-class center of excellence in global business.这就在我们大学管理学院去年成立“国际企业研究中心”的宗旨。

共有56家Fortune 500强的公司总部设在德州（这个总家数去年是全美冠军，今年则让给了纽约州的57家），著名的有Dell (Austin); AT&T (San Antonio)。http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2007/states/TX.html

由于德州没有收入所得税，物业价格相对加州、佛罗里达要低很多，随着大量高素质移民的迁入，
                    学校周边的Plano 与Richardson区被MONEY Magazine分别评为全美最适宜居住的地区No.11 and No.15。注重教育的华人与印度人使Plano成为全美考分最高的学区！ http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/snapshots/PL4858016.html

德州是一个非常好客的地方，从海滨的休斯顿到河道环绕的圣安东尼奥，从记录德州独立历史的Alamo到充斥后现代建筑的达拉斯，山地、沙漠、湖泊等各种景致应有尽有。

德州也是一个保守的城市，共和党永远是议会的大多数，约翰逊总统、布什父子都以保守闻名。德州人也非常爱国，二战中的著名将领尼米兹、艾森豪威尔威尔威尔都从德州参军。

lz，这是不是你的Project之一啊，很不错呢。

说一句让我自己也惭愧的话，假如每个申请人都能对自己所申请学校有这种程度的了解，那offer率一定会大幅提高，又假如每个申请人能如此有条理的展示出来，那亦是更多新老CDer的宝贵财富。

真的就像ls的同学说的那样

赞这样的总结!

Cong!

怪不得我被UTD据了，和工作做得这么细致的MM竞争，确实抗不过，呵呵。
