The Ph.D. Program prepares students to conduct state-of-the-art research and to become highly effective instructors so they can assume faculty positions in business schools at leading universities. Our students' accomplishments serve as evidence that our program is successful in turning out some of the best.

Faculty at UConn are required to publish research in high quality journals, to continually improve their teaching skills, and to provide service to the field of marketing, UConn, and the School of Business. Students gain experience in each of these areas during their time spent in the doctoral program. They are invited to present research and provide other services at major marketing conferences, they identify and develop their areas of interest for research and teaching, they begin teaching their second year in the program, and some have the opportunity to teach at the graduate level before they leave.

Highlighted below are some of the outstanding accomplishments marketing students have made.

*Papers accepted for conference presentations are not included here. Most students have one or more papers accepted for presentation at one or more conferences per year - individually or with co-authors.
