Doctor of Philosophy in the Field of Business Administration, Management and Strategy Concentration
The PhD in the field of business administration with a concentration in management and strategy prepares students to contribute as scholars to their chosen field of research. The curriculum is designed to help students develop an advanced understanding of research methodologies, competence in the fields of management and strategy, as well as a deep foundation of knowledge in the student’s chosen field of study.
The program is a coordinated effort between the GWSB departments of Management and Strategic Management and Public Policy , therefore, the coursework consists of core courses as well as courses that are specific to either of those two fields.
Visit the program website for additional information.
The PhD in business administration involves two years of formal courses established by each department and approved by the doctoral committee. Students take a minimum of 45 credits during their program, including 27 credits in core courses, a 3-credit summer paper, and 15 credits in elective courses. Students should consult their faculty advisory group about the required courses and electives for which they should register.
Students should complete at least 39 credits within the first two years from matriculation. The remaining 6 credits should be completed during the third year.
Requirements for the management concentration
*Policies for core courses
In general, all core courses should be doctoral courses, i.e., those at the 8000 level. All courses must be taken for letter grades. Required courses cannot be waived without substitution except in unusual circumstances as determined on a case-by-case basis. Examples of unusual circumstances include students holding a specialized master's or doctoral degree where equivalent core courses were taken in a particular area (such as statistics or mathematics). Students may petition the associate dean of research and doctoral programs to substitute up to 12 credits of required courses with alternative courses approved by the faculty advisory group.

How an MBA Degree Can Help You Become a Management Consultant
An MBA is a major advantage when competing for management consulting jobs, experts say.
An MBA and Management Consulting
Getty Images
Management consultants can help businesses in a variety of ways, including boosting performance, improving processes and increasing revenue.
Key Takeaways:
- Many businesses consider an MBA a basic requirement for management consultants.
- MBA recipients generally have an advantage over non-MBA management consultants.
- Significant industry experience along with an MBA opens more doors.
Many leading companies hire management consultants when they need support to improve business strategy, independent expertise to tackle a pivotal challenge, or special guidance on decision-making or streamlining processes.
MBA programs equip students for management consulting roles and develop skills in business management, productivity, supply chain management, leadership, data interpretation, communication and marketing. Without that degree, management consulting experts say, it's hard to gain traction in the industry.
“Having an MBA is expected when looking for a position as a management consultant – it's almost like a base-level requirement," says Stacey A. Gordon, founder and principal consultant at Rework the Work in California. While not every management consultant has an MBA, she says, "it definitely helps with being recognized as somebody who has the requisite intellect and problem-solving skills for the job."
Management consulting is a lucrative and fast-growing profession, with management consultants in the U.S. earning a median annual salary of almost $100,000 in 2023 and a projected employment growth rate of 10% through 2032 – much faster than the average for all occupations, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
What Does a Management Consultant Do?
Management consultants help businesses boost performance, improve processes and increase revenue. Experts say those with MBAs play an important role in advising corporations on strategic decisions, process improvements and operational efficiency.
Scott Edinburgh, founder of Personal MBA Coach and a management consultant for 16 years, says when companies take pitches from consulting firms for a project, those with top MBA grads on their teams have an advantage.
Most management consultants are attached to firms, but some with prior management consulting experience will work independently to help organizations achieve their goals, Edinburgh says. “You spend a lot more time running the business when you work independently, versus doing the client work.”
Gordon says it's hard to get your foot in the door as an independent consultant. “Operating independent of a firm wouldn’t be as challenging if you have significant industry expertise," she says. "But without the experience, having only the MBA won't get you very far."
How to Become a Management Consultant
Edinburgh, who earned an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business , says consulting firms often hire directly from bachelor’s programs and business schools. MBA programs are a good source of high-quality talent from a variety of backgrounds – people trained to think analytically.
He adds that graduates should take advantage of consulting companies' recruiting events. "Do everything you can to put yourself in front of the employer. Find friends and networks that would get you in front of the right people.”
Aspiring management consultants should also focus on learning fundamentals like econometric principles, assessing profitability, managing processes and analyzing situations, Edinburgh says. An internship, a required component of some MBA programs, can help build that knowledge base and skills set.
Along with polishing your resume, experts suggest preparing for selection tests and case interviews. Many management consulting firms require applicants to pass case interviews designed to test complex problem-solving and demonstrate an ability to use abstract data to make decisions.
Edinburgh also encourages aspiring management consultants to demonstrate understanding of economic trends and generally be a knowledgeable business professional.
“It is not required to be an expert on any particular topic, but I usually recommend reading some business periodicals before an interview because you never know what your interviewer may bring up," he says.
How an MBA Affects Consulting Job Prospects
Edinburgh says MBA-holders are sought after because they have studied strategy and negotiation and have developed valuable practical skills through the case-study approach business schools take to solve problems.
“You are analyzing a problem rather than solving a math question. You are going over all the considerations," he says. "It is similar to the way consulting firms might solve problems for clients.”
An MBA also helps prepare graduates to work with people of many backgrounds and personalities, because they study with people from all walks of life. "That helps prepare you for the consulting world, where you make group decisions and solve problems together,” Edinburgh says.
Gordon, who earned her MBA from Pepperdine University in California, says MBA programs emphasize collaboration and prepare students by covering accounting, finance, marketing and law.
"You are hitting on all the aspects of running a business and what that takes," she says. "It’s helpful, too, because you recognize what your strengths are in those spaces.”
Gordon says while an MBA isn't always necessary for a consulting career, “if you don’t have that higher education and background, then you’re probably not going to be looked at (the same) as somebody else who has it. It’s going to be much harder for you to move forward without it. It’s not only about getting a job at a firm, but also gaining the respect from the clients that you work with.”
