      PhD Programs in Management Science

      Working toward a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) takes hard work and many years, at least three and as many as seven, in some cases. However, having one means you can show employers that you have supreme knowledge on a subject.

      What is a PhD in Management Science? This field looks at how to manage people, machines, money and materials to their best advantage. Some subfields include green production, green logistics and supply, operational research and social science. This degree can take three or more years to complete and is largely research based. Subjects you should understand before beginning include economics, problem-solving, statistics, organizational behavior and human resources.

      Some skills you can develop within management science include financial management, time management and communication. Being able to manage your finances and time efficiently can save you effort in the long run, while communication helps in social settings and in forming relationships.

      Most PhD programs offer stipends and fellowships to cover the cost of books, tuition and fees. These costs depend on the school you attend and whether you can find used and electronic copies of the books you need.

      For any PhD, there is the option to enter academia as a professor or to continue research. With management science as your field, you can also look for high-ranking business positions that would use your expert logistics knowledge. Some job titles you can search for include international urban advisor, program director, global force management specialist and director of project management. A PhD can also be useful if you are seeking promotion in your current workplace.
