It has always been my dream to have a PhD, and a PhD in Business seems to be the low-hanging fruit.
At the same time I would enjoy the challenges of the process.
Is there a good/reliable/relatively inexpensive program inline (or in person in NYC) where to pursue a PhD in Business?
TIA
- economics
- marketing
- finance
- statistics / econometrics
- organizational behavior
Not to be harsh but…
1. I don’t think most reputable places would let you do it all online, nor would that be a good idea.
2. I also think your understanding of the degree is wrong if you are thinking about it as “low hanging fruit.” These degrees generally take 5-6 years to complete full time and are designed to train researchers to produce research articles in the areas above. It is a full time job (or more) anywhere.
3. Neither your MBA or your business experience are likely to be that relevant.
There are some purely online schools which have sort of “pay to play” phd programs. You pay tuition and they pretend to teach you something. Probably the first result that pops up when you Google “online business phd program” will be a good example. I don’t think those are likely to be a good investment of your dollars, nor are they taken seriously in the research community.
> ... a PhD in Business seems to be the low-hanging fruit.
This seems to be a red flag, it may come across that you just like to have "PhD" after your name than any real interest in business research and education.
Prove your bona fides by starting your own company and becoming mega-rich. Paper credentials are no substitute and the ultimate proof is the fact that most business PhDs are not mega-rich.
