The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Ghana, is keen to exploit the prospects of international educational partnerships and collaborations in PhD studies with sister African Universities across the continent. UPSA is a full member of the Association of African Universities (AAU) and part of AAU’s mandate is to foster mutually beneficial relationships for its member institutions. Founded in 1965 as an institute for professional studies training, UPSA has grown to become a full-fledged University, and accredited with the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission. UPSA offers business programmes in undergraduate, graduate, diploma, professional courses and recently PhD. Along with two other universities in Ghana, UPSA made the 2021 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. UPSA is an accredited member of Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs.

The Office of Doctoral Programmes (ODP) is the mandated office responsible for the development and administration of PhD programmes at UPSA. Currently, the office is superintending over the PhD in Marketing programme and is close to securing accreditation for PhD in Accounting and PhD in Finance.

In line with UPSA’s mission, the doctoral programme has been designed with inputs from practicing academics in the field and external academic partners. It hinges on a foundation of in-depth knowledge in the core areas of the relevant discipline area, facilitated by experienced academic mentors and rigorous independent student research with a developing economy and sustainability perspective, and applicable in both the public and private sectors. It is a blend of research and course work, designed to equip students with the requisite theoretical background and methodological skills necessary for carrying out industry-relevant research and the development of successful careers at institutions of higher learning. This approach will be a precursor for students to contribute meaningfully and scientifically to the generation of new knowledge.

Informed by the above, and working with AAU, the ODP seeks partnerships from sister universities across Africa with the objective of working collaboratively for mutual benefits. The areas for potential collaboration and partnership include:

  • Faculty exchange programmes
  • Student exchange programmes
  • Co-hosting of PhD programmes
  • Joint PhD student or faculty research collaboration
  • Joint seminars for faculty and students
  • Joint supervision for PhD Thesis

The UPSA Office of Doctoral Programmes welcomes proposals for collaboration in PhD education with the potential to promote synergy for both institutions. If your institution is keen to collaborate with the University of Professional Studies, Office of Doctoral Programmes, please contact:

Earning a Master's Degree

While in a doctoral program, a student may earn a master’s degree provided the following conditions are satisfied:

  • A student must be admitted to candidacy.
  • A student is eligible to receive a master’s degree upon completion of University-wide requirements and any additional degree requirements specific to the program.
  • The Doctoral Studies Committee, Department Chair, and the Graduate Associate Dean of the College must recommend students for the degree.
  • The student must apply for graduation by the published deadline the semester prior to awarding the doctoral degree.
  • All required coursework in the doctoral program at the time of admission to candidacy must have been taken within the previous six years.
  • If the master’s degree requires a thesis, the degree cannot be awarded on the basis of the doctoral qualifying examination.
  • Students will not be approved for an additional master’s degree in the same field in which an individual has previously received a master’s degree.

Course Offerings & Schedule

This is a full-time program and most courses are offered during the day. Students must enroll for nine hours in the fall semester, nine hours in the spring semester and three hours in the summer semester.

This program is does not offer a hybrid or fully online modality. All PhD programs in the college are in-residence and admitted students are expected to complete the program in-person.

PhD students normally serve as either a teaching assistant or research assistant throughout the program. These experiences are an important part of the training and overall doctoral experience. It would be difficult for someone to manage both a full-time job and the doctoral program’s requirements; therefore, it is not recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Admission process, what are the key factors on which admissions are based, and who decides.

Admission is based on

  • Undergraduate transcripts (and graduate, if applicable)
  • Standardized test scores
  • Recommendations from former professors or employers who can speak to your ability to do doctoral-level work at UTSA

The admission committee is looking for evidence that you understand the specific nature of the program that you are applying for, that you can articulate your scholarly intentions that fit with the research interests of current faculty and that you are academically prepared to succeed in the program.

The most important part of your application is your statement of purpose. Although outstanding grades and test scores are important, you should construct a clear, persuasive, well-written statement of purpose in order to be competitive.

I am completing an undergraduate degree. Am I eligible to apply?

Yes; however, you must take additional leveling courses and complete any graduate coursework where your academic background is insufficient. The catalog states that the PhD requirement is “66 hours beyond the master’s degree.” Therefore, the time required to complete a PhD will most likely be much longer for a candidate without a master’s degree than for a candidate with a master’s degree.

When are admission decisions made?

Admission decisions are typically made in March; however, exceptionally qualified candidates are considered earlier.

Can I submit GMAT/GRE test scores after the application deadline?

No. All application documents must be received by the application deadline and incomplete applications will not be considered. You will be required to upload unofficial copies within the Graduate Admissions Application.

Can I wait to submit the foreign credential evaluation (ECE transcript) until after I am accepted to UTSA?

No. Foreign credential evaluations must be received by the application deadline for your application to be processed. Processing time may take up to three weeks, and students should plan accordingly with the admission deadlines of the programs for which they are applying.

Do you accept WES transcript evaluations?

All NACES accredited evaluators are accepted.

Program Expectations

What should i expect as a doctoral student.

Your role and the expectations will change as you progress in the program. Initially, your role will be as a student with the expectation that you attend and participate in doctoral seminars with other students. Expect to read a great deal and write papers.

To prepare to become a university professor, you will work closely with faculty members to learn how to teach. You will start as a teaching assistant and work toward teaching classes independently.

Conducting research is another area of focus where you will work closely with faculty on research projects. Under the direction of a faculty committee, you will conduct original research that will be the basis for your dissertation.

How long does this program take to complete?

Most students will need four years. Plan for at least two years to complete the coursework. Add another year to pass the comprehensive exams, develop a dissertation topic and defend your dissertation proposal. Dedicate your final year(s) to dissertation research.

Are PhD students required to teach?

Teaching is crucial to your academic career and job prospects. Every PhD student should gain teaching experience before graduating. Initially, students may work as research assistants for faculty members and may also assist in teaching various courses. For students who receive stipends, they will most likely teach an undergraduate course at the Carlos Alvarez College of Business during their program.

What are the research requirements of the PhD program?

The PhD program requires students to research while they complete formal coursework and during the summers. As research assistants, students work with faculty members in joint research activities and pursue their research objectives under the supervision of faculty members. The goal is to create papers to present at academic meetings and submit to research publications by the time the student is ready to begin their dissertation research. To be competitive in the academic job market, students should prioritize producing papers and publications while in the program.

As a PhD student, who will advise me?

Your program admission will identify an initial PhD advisor. However, as your interests and research agenda develop toward preparing a dissertation proposal, a different faculty member may emerge as the appropriate advisor for your dissertation research. Your initial advisor will help you assemble a program committee of faculty, who will advise you regarding your dissertation.

Can you waive my application fee?

You may request an application waiver if

  • You are a McNair Scholar
  • Active-duty military or a veteran of the US Armed Forces
  • If you are an applicant who has attended a PhD Project Conference

Please complete the  Request to Waive Doctoral Application Fee  if you meet one or more of the above criteria.

Approved applicants will receive a single-use coupon code to enter into the payment field of the online application.

Can you waive the GMAT/GRE test score requirement?

We do not offer waivers for standardized test scores.

Is there a waiver for the TOEFL/IELTS exam requirement?

TOEFL scores may be waived for international students from countries where English is the official language or for non-citizens of the United States who have earned a regionally accredited bachelor’s degree or higher in the United States (or other countries where English is the official language) as indicated in the Graduate Catalog ( https://catalog.utsa.edu/policies/admission/graduate/internationalgraduatestudents/ ).

Market ready: Meet 2024 PNW graduate Raquel Welch

Raquel Welch

Raquel Welch, ’24, is set to graduate with a bachelor of science degree in Marketing and a minor in Business Analytics from the College of Business at Purdue University Northwest (PNW).

Originally wanting to study music but feeling that might not be a viable career path, Welch looked into other areas of study. An introductory course in Marketing hooked her, while a course in consumer behavior had her fall in love with the field.

The Hammond native was instrumental in reactivating the Marketing Club where she served as president of the organization. The club was nominated for the “Comeback Kid” Student Organization Award at the annual Chancellor’s Ball. Welch competed in the Spring 2024 Digital Marketing Competition hosted by PNW’s College of Business, an international digital marketing competition for college students, coming in 25th out of hundreds of entries that were submitted. In addition, Welch was a campus ambassador, a member of the student advisory board in the College of Business and served as internal vice president of Alpha Psi Lambda , a co-ed fraternity that believes in serving the campus community while promoting Latino culture.

Welch is looking for a position in the marketing field, primarily in digital marketing and media planning. In the future, she would like to return to academia and teach business classes.

What did you like most about PNW?

“Honestly, I loved everything. I loved how involved the campus is and the people. I’ve made connections with my classmates, professors and faculty. I feel like I can go to anyone at any time and ask for help, guidance or support – and I usually get it.”

How do you think your involvement in campus organizations and activities helped define your success at PNW?

“I believe my involvement has helped me become a leader and a good team player. It also shows I can handle multiple projects and am very good at time management. My time management skills are on point and my leadership skills are really honed in.”

Don’t be afraid of failure and if it happens, pick yourself up and try again. Raquel Welch, ’24, Marketing

Did you have a pivotal experience while attending PNW?

“It was when I finally set foot in my first 400 level marketing course – consumer behavior. I really enjoyed being in an experiential class. Consulting with a real client, conducting surveys to get real data about people and what they want and need made me realize this is what I could be doing for work one day. It was a consulting project we did for class and it was huge and so much fun – my mind was blown!”

What words of advice would you share with prospective students looking to attend PNW?

“Don’t be afraid to get involved. Speak up. Don’t be afraid of failure and if it happens, pick yourself up and try again.”

Was there anyone at PNW who inspired or encouraged you along the way?
