Decision Sciences PhD

The PhD. programs of the Max M. Fisher College of Business, at The Ohio State University (OSU), like their undergraduate and masters counterparts, are among the most highly ranked programs in the nation. The high quality of the internationally recognized faculty and research programs establishes an environment for training PhD. students to develop new knowledge and disseminate it to the academic community and into business practice. The Fisher College is endowed with a faculty whose scholarly performance enables its programs to be consistently ranked among the leading national research institutions.
The excellent quality of the Fisher College academic program is indicated by the recent rankings of the Fisher College faculty and academic programs. The Decision Sciences faculty is ranked 18th and Fisher College MBA program is ranked 19th in the nation by U.S. News and World Report (America's Best Graduate Schools", 2004). The Fisher College Undergraduate program is ranked 14th in the nation by U.S. News and World Report (2003). A recent study of research impact ranked the Department of Management Science 8th.
Equally important is the program's commitment to teaching, as exemplified by a specially designed "learning to teach" course for Fisher College PhD. students. Opportunities to practice and enhance teaching are provided through teaching assistantships that offer students a chance to work as assistants to faculty members and, as skills are gained, greater course responsibility. The strong emphasis on teaching has resulted in numerous university and national teaching awards to both our faculty and our doctoral students.
