Kelley PhD students gain in-depth training through coursework, mentoring, research, publishing, and teaching. You will work with faculty upon entering the program, and will learn to communicate complex ideas as an instructor. Ultimately, you will work to become an expert in your field as you design, conduct, and defend your own research. In addition to the major, information systems doctoral students are required to choose a minor field (normally 3 to 4 courses, or 9 to 12 credit hours). Most students in this area choose minors such as organizational behavior, cognitive psychology, social psychology, and management. Students without prior teaching experience also take one short course (X630) on teaching, prior to teaching their first course, which may be before or after the comprehensive exam.
