>The Stanford Graduate School of Business Ph.D. Program:
>
>While it is well known that Stanford has an outstanding MBA program, what
>may be less well known is that the Stanford Graduate School of Business
>(GSB) offers one of the most unique Ph.D. programs in the world.
>
>We offer the Ph.D. In seven fields:
>
>Accounting
>Economics
>Finance
>Marketing
>Operations, Information, and Technology
>Organizational Behavior
>Political Economics
>
>The disciplinary boundaries among these fields are fluid, with frequent
>collaboration among faculty and students across areas.  In addition, our
>students take full advantage of the collective resources of Stanford's
>faculty, research institutes, and six other schools, including Humanities
>and Sciences;  Engineering;  Law;  Education; Medicine;  and Earth Sciences.
>
>The variety of research being conducted at the GSB is tremendous: Financial
>reporting and disclosure;  incentives in health services; asset pricing;
>organizational decision making under uncertainty; auction and game theory;
>behavioral finance;  organizational ecology;  consumer decision making;  the
>political economy of trade;  culture and persuasion;  bioterror response
>logistics and homeland security;  social hierarchy and power; gender and
>race in organizations.  These topics represent only a small sample of the
>exciting work being done here.
>
>In our dynamic scholarly community, about 100 students work closely with
>over 100 faculty members pursuing research at the leading edge of their
>fields.  With a student-faculty ratio of better than 1-to-1, faculty
>collaborate with students, encourage them, help them to develop new insights
>into important problems, and challenge them as they develop their own
>original research interests and launch their careers as scholars.
>
>No specific courses are required to begin our doctoral programs, and no
>previous graduate study or work experience.  Our students come from a
>variety of schools and undergraduate majors, including economics, political
>science, psychology, sociology, mathematics, computer science, engineering,
>and the humanities and sciences.  Students in our program are fully funded
>for four years (full tuition plus living expenses).
>
>The Stanford Graduate School of Business is a great place to become a
>scholar.  If you are curious about ideas, enjoy research, and want to make
>an original contribution to academic thought, our Ph.D. Program may be the
>right program for you right now.
