Candidates may choose an area of concentration in Finance or Behavioral Sciences (Organizational Behavior).
The curriculum is essentially the same as that offered for full-time students pursuing the full-time doctoral program in business in New Orleans. The first two years of coursework will be offered at Tulane University in New Orleans and/or participating institutions. The remainder of the courses are offered at Tulane during the four summer (required) residence periods.
The classes will be offered on three weekends per semester for a total of six weekends per year for two years. The coursework, comprehensive exams, and dissertation prospectus stages of the program normally cover a period of 3 years. The dissertation normally requires two years for a total program length of 4-5 years.
