The increasing demand for business Ph.D.s and the projected wave of business faculty retirees in the next few years mean now is a great time to earn a doctoral degree from the Wayne State business school.

Additionally, the opportunity to consult with businesses based on research expertise and the chance to earn a lucrative salary make a Wayne State business Ph.D. an enticing proposition.
