Individualized Study
The numbers of doctoral students admitted each year is limited, enabling each student to obtain individual instruction and guidance. Students may, for example, take tutorials with faculty members on specific topics not covered by formal courses. In addition, students work with the faculty and with their student colleagues on research projects to gain experience and sharpen skills in their areas of special interest.
Multiple Learning Methods
Doctoral students engage in a wide variety of learning activities. Formal course work is important, but just as important are the informal seminars, colloquia, research projects, opportunities to assist in teaching, and various other activities that can help one understand and deal competently with management and organizational phenomena.
Interdisciplinary Study
Students are encouraged to develop programs that draw on courses and learning experiences from a variety of academic disciplines. The School maintains working relationships with various departments and other professional schools at Yale University.
