What our students say about the program

"The department is a real community with a collaborative culture which, for me, really sets it apart from others both within and outside of the Terry College of Business." — Ken Park

"There is strong teaching support available at UGA. This includes opportunities for teaching apprenticeships and funding. UGA has an outstanding Center for Teaching and Learning as a resource for developing teaching expertise." — Keri Larson

"I continue to talk to PhD students at other universities who have trouble scheduling meetings with their dissertation chairs whereas our faculty go out of their way to make time every single week for the PhD students… Also, we are in close proximity to several other high powered research schools and that proximity fosters a community of collaboration and knowledge sharing." — Chris Maurer

"It is important to stress the faculty involvement in the PhD program. We have a very high student/faculty ratio and student offices are near faculty, making it a truly collaborative experience. Students have the opportunity to work with multiple faculty members during their first few years. Also, at UGA we have the opportunity to be instructor of record several times - not someone's grading slave or a TA. Our research assistantships are mutually beneficial between student and faculty member and designed to produce publishable research to add to our C.V." — Jennifer Claggett

"From a foreign student's perspective, our department has an excellent culture of diversity. Faculty members, PhD students, and visiting scholars are from all places around the world. In addition, our faculty members are all also very helpful and friendly, so foreign students do not need to make big adjustments to get used to the life and research here." — Seth Li
