The Department of Information Systems and Operations Management at the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro is now accepting
applications from highly qualified applicants for its Ph.D. program in
IS.  The deadline for completed applications is February 15, 2010.

The Ph.D. in Information Systems (IS) at UNC Greensboro is designed to
prepare students primarily for careers as members of faculty in
universities and colleges, and as professionals in non-academic
research and professional organizations.  The program is innovative in
that it contains several components of a mainstream Ph.D. program,
where the focus is on developing theoretical and empirical research
skills, and is characterized by four distinctive elements that enhance
the traditional model. These are: a commitment to practical relevance;
an emphasis on producing quality teachers; a research apprenticeship
requirement; and interdisciplinary research. Additional information
about the program can be obtained from the website:
http://www.uncg.edu/bae/isom/phd

The professors who teach in the Bryan School of Business and Economics
are world-class tenured/ tenure-track professionals whose teaching and
research interests include data mining and warehousing,  e-commerce,
IT in healthcare, global information  technology management, supply
chain management, technology implementation and diffusion, media
choice theory and knowledge management.   A current doctoral student
has obtained NSF funding for his dissertation work.

Also located and associated with the Bryan School is the McDowell
Research Center (MRC) for Global IT Management
(www.uncg.edu/bae/mrc/). Founded in 2007, MRC is dedicated to the
study of IT in Healthcare and Global IT Management.

Several scholarly journals are associated with the work and research
of departmental faculty providing students with the unique opportunity
to co-author, publish, and work with world renowned professors from
the IT field. They are Journal of Global Information Technology
Management  (www.uncg.edu/bae/jgitm) (EIC: Dr. Prashant Palvia),
International Journal of Information Security and Privacy
(baeadm.uncg.edu/IJISP ) (EIC: Dr. Hamid Nemati), and the  Journal of
Information Science and Technology (www.jist.info)with (EIC: Dr. Rahul
Singh).

Faculty also serve or have served as special issue editors for
Communications of the ACM, Journal of Ecommerce Research, and
International Journal of e-Politics.

The program is primarily for full-time students. It is available to
students with master’s degrees in appropriate areas such as business,
computer science, public administration, engineering, or the social
sciences.

Full-time students will be awarded tuition-waiver and a graduate
assistantship requiring 20 hours of work per week. The assistantship
requires the student to work on teaching and research related
activities.
