Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship
*SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY *
*Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises***

The Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises at Syracuse
University’s Whitman School of Management is home to one of the world’s
leading group of researchers, focused on advancing scholarship in the
field of entrepreneurship. We are now looking to further strengthen our
research and invite applications from Ph.D. candidates, for *FALL 2013
*admission.

The Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises is one of
only a handful of academic departments exclusively devoted to
entrepreneurship, and also one of the few departments in the U.S. to
offer a doctoral degree in entrepreneurship. Accepted applicants to the
program will have the opportunity to study under the supervision of a
group of world leading scholars that includes: Alejandro Amezcua, Denis
Gregoire, Mike Haynie, Tom Lumpkin, Alex McKelvie, Maria Minniti, Minet
Schindehutte and Johan Wiklund. Based on an annual survey of research
productivity in the field of entrepreneurship published by TCU, this
team was responsible for Syracuse University being ranked #2 in the
world for published research in entrepreneurship the two past years
(2010 and 2011).

The aim of our doctoral program is to provide candidates with a deep
knowledge of the field of entrepreneurship, and the technical skills
necessary to design and execute rigorous studies of the quality to be
published in the leading entrepreneurship journals. We expect accepted
candidates to complete their study within four years of admission to the 
program, and pursue careers at top Ph.D. granting academic institutions 
in the U.S. and abroad. During your time as a doctoral candidate at EEE 
you can expect:
• Waiver of all tuition fees during the four years of the program
• A competitive annual stipend to cover your living expenses
• A research education tailored for a future entrepreneurship scholar
• The opportunity to do research together with the internationally
renowned scholars of the department
• Competent and dedicated guidance from those scholars
• Experience as a university teacher in our nationally ranked
entrepreneurship undergraduate program

A doctoral degree in entrepreneurship from Syracuse University offers
you a whole host of opportunities for the future, either in academic
positions around the world, or in other positions where your research
skill is demanded. The job market for entrepreneurship scholars is
strong and in recent years more positions have been available than
candidates pursuing jobs. Thus, it is not surprising that the position
of a university professor is frequently ranked as one of the most
desirable jobs in the world.

*Application deadline is January 15th for admission in the following
Fall semester (August 15th). All relevant information, including
