Applications for the Bentley University PhD program are invited prior to the closing date, which is January 20th 2013.  The PhD in Business has an overall theme of business, technology and society, and covers a range of fields, including Strategy and Entrepreneurship.  Bentley is located on the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Bentley launched its PhD program in 2006 and has already graduated 12 students, in Business and in Accountancy, all of whom have been successfully placed, the vast majority in well regarded academic positions.  A similar number are expected to graduate by the end of the current academic year.

All students receive a scholarship that covers all tuition and the top candidates receive a living expenses stipend of $25,000 per year for 4 years (with a 5^th year potential depending on progress), as long as they remain in good standing.  We also have two Geneen Doctoral Fellowships who will each receive a $30,000 annual stipend to pursue research dedicated to examining social comparative and reformative approaches to governance.  These fellowships are based on a gift from the Harold S. Geneen Charitable Trust.  Finally, we have Rauch Fellowships, based on a gift from the Rauch family, which provide stipends of $30,000 per year for 4-5 years.

If you have any current or recent Master's graduates who are looking to start a PhD, we would be grateful if you could pass our information on to them.  In addition, if you have questions, would like further information, or would like to recommend students for Bentley's PhD programs, please contact the program director - Sue Newell - at (+1) 781–891–2399 or snewell@bentley.edu. The closing date for applications is January 20th 2013.  Please visit our website for more information - http://phd.bentley.edu/
