Scholarships for phD in Construction Management?
I did 5 years BSc course in Building & Architectural Engineering (blend of civil engineering & architecture and includes all electrical, mechanical and plumbing works as far as buildings are concerned). Currently, im doing Msc in Building Engineering from the same university, i.e. University of Engineering & Technolgy, Lahore, Pakistan. im working on MSc thesis these days and that will be completed within 4 months. I am interested to take admission in phD in Construction Management (preferably) on scholarship basis. which other options for phD fields are available for me in canada, usa or australia? i got 77.6% in BSc but my Msc result is not declared yet. i would be extremely grateful to you if you guide me in this respect.

You are severely mistaken if you think you will get a scholarship for PhD studies in Construction Management in any of these countries. Construction Mangement is considered a "practitioner" degree rather than a research degree. The few "research" seats available in the few reseach univerities with Construction Management-related degrees are preferentially distributed to citizens and permanent residents who were outstanding students in earlier degree studies. (The situation for Civil Engineering is different, but that's not what you asked). There are several "rupee whore" schools in the USA which will take almost any Indian/Pakistani student able to pay full tuition.

Hi, I am a PHD student myself . I only can speak for US. Most PHD programs are free. The website lists them for example 90k tuition etc, but you will get a Fellowship with your acceptance letter. Everyone who gets accepted in the PHD program is guanranteed a fellowship, which covers all tuition, books etc. No need to appy for that fellowship. It will be automatically generated from the university. You will have to teach some classes as a Teacher Assistant in small groups. Living expenses are generally covered, however you could do research or work on campus. MD programs are not free , only PHDs are technically free.

A Ph.D. is overkill if you want to go into business - the preferred terminal degree for that is the MBA. The Ph.D. is useful if you want to become an academic or, perhaps, for credibility if you want to go into consulting, but for most of those jobs it isn't really necessary. The Ph.D. will teach you how to do theoretical research, not how to run a business.
2
A PhD in Business Administration is one of the most marketable PhDs that exists. It is also one of the hardest programs to get into. The top schools get several hundred applications per year, and accept about ten (my program at Berkeley gets over 300 applications a year and accepts between four and ten students per year -- some schools where I have taught are even more selective). These programs generally only accept students who want to stay in academia. If you do not want to be an academic -- then you should not get a PhD in Business Administration. You should think about getting an MBA from the best school you can get into.

Dear Aussie-Cheetah, The straight and simple answer to your question is: NO. The answer may seem rude to you but the fact is that you need to have at least 4500 hours of experience (spread over a minimum of 36 months) in directing and managing project activities before you become eligible to sit for the exam. Besides, you need to be a graduate and also have attended at least 35 hours of project management training. For complete details, please refer to the authoritative source: http://www.pmi.org. You may also refer to my blog (http://wannabeapmp.blogspot.com) for comprehensive information on the exam. Best Regards, Raja http://wannabeapmp.blogspot.com

If you want to do this just so that you can tell people you have a PhD -- then it is fine. If you actually want to do something with your PhD -- then it would be idiotic. If you want to be a college professor, then you should go to the best program you can get into. Indiana State is a fourth tier university (according to US News). If you can get into a PhD program -- you can do much better. As for price -- most PhD students get fellowships or teaching assistantships. These include payment of tuition and fees as well as a stipend to cover living expenses. So it turns out to be cheaper getting a PhD in person,

Almost all universities accept business PhD students right out of undergrad. The only one I know that doesn't is Ivey School of Business in Canada. It is quite a bit harder (requires a 3.7+ GPA, near perfect test scores, and great letters of Rec) but I think it is pretty worth it, since master's degrees cost so much... Might want to brush up on the English before you apply though. Good luck!

USC has many of its graduates, go into the non-profit sector. In particular it's famous Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and school for Public Relations, both of which offer high quality/competitive PhD programs. It's School of Business though deals with money, has many graduates studying how to keep a non-profit business alive without falling into the traps that make or break organizations in the future. But I would look into Gerontology for integrity with older people as many health care administrators earn higher wages having graduated from USC in that field. As you know, health administrators work very hard for their money and are great leaders with lots of concerns surrounding the elderly who get taken advantage of a lot.

The Basics A Doctor of Philosophy degree, abbreviated Ph.D., is the highest academic degree anyone can earn. Because earning a Ph.D. requires extended study and intense intellectual effort, less than one percent of the population attains the degree. Society shows respect for a person who holds a Ph.D. by addressing them with the title ``Doctor''. To earn a Ph.D., one must accomplish two things. First, one must master a specific subject completely. Second, one must extend the body of knowledge about that subject. Mastering A Subject To master a subject, a student searches the published literature to find and read everything that has been written about the subject. In scientific disciplines, a student begins by studying general reference works such as text books. Eventually, the student must also search scholarly journals, the publications that scientists use to exchange information and record reports of their scientific investigations. Each university establishes general guidelines that a student must follow to earn a Ph.D. degree, and each college or department within a university sets specific standards by which it measures mastery of a subject. Usually, in preparing for Ph.D. work in a given field, a student must earn both a Bachelor's and Master's degree (or their equivalent) in that field or in a closely related field. To demonstrate complete mastery of the subject, a student may be required to complete additional graduate-level courses, maintain a high grade average, or take a battery of special examinations. In many institutions, students must do all three. Because examinations given as part of a Ph.D. curriculum assess expert knowledge, they are created and evaluated by a committee of experts, each of whom holds a Ph.D. degree. Extending Knowledge The essence of a Ph.D., the aspect that distinguishes Ph.D. study from other academic work, can be summarized in a single word: research. To extend knowledge, one must explore, investigate, and contemplate. The scientific community uses the term research to capture the idea. In scientific disciplines, research often implies experimentation, but research is more than mere experiments -- it means interpretation and deep understanding. For Computer Scientists, research means searching to uncover the principles that underlie digital computation and communication. A researcher must discover new techniques that aid in building or using computational mechanisms. Researchers look for new abstractions, new approaches, new algorithms, new principles, or new mechanisms. To complete a Ph.D., each student must present results from their research to the faculty in a lengthy, formal document called a dissertation (more popularly referred to as a thesis). The student must then submit their dissertation to the faculty and defend their work an oral examination. Relationship To Products In some cases, the results of scientific research can be used to develop new products or improve those that exist. However, scientists do not use commercial success or potential commercial profits as a measure of their work; they conduct investigations to further human understanding and the body of knowledge humans have compiled. Often, the commercial benefits of scientific research are much greater in the long-term than in the short-term. Research Activities Computer Science research can include such diverse activities as designing and building new computer systems, proving mathematical theorems, writing computer software, measuring the performance of a computer system, using analytical tools to assess a design, or studying the errors programmers make as they build a large software system. Because a researcher chooses the activities appropriate to answer each question that arises in a research investigation, and because new questions arise as an investigation proceeds, research activities vary from project to project and over time in a single project. A researcher must be prepared to use a variety of approaches and tools. A Few Questions To Ask Many of you are trying to decide whether to pursue a Ph.D. degree. Here are a few questions you might ask yourself. 1. Do you want a research career? Before enrolling in a Ph.D. program, you should carefully consider your long-term goals. Because earning a Ph.D. is training for research, you should ask yourself whether a research position is your long-term goal. If it is, a Ph.D. degree is the standard path to your chosen career (a few people have managed to obtain a research position without a Ph.D., but they are the exception, not the rule). If, however, you want a non-research career, a Ph.D. is definitely not for you. 2. Do you want an academic position? A Ph.D. is the de facto ``union card'' for an academic position. Although it is possible to obtain an academic position without a Ph.D., the chances are low. Major universities (and most colleges) require each member of their faculty to hold a Ph.D. and to engage in research activities. Why? To insure that the faculty have sufficient expertise to teach advanced courses and to force faculty to remain current in their chosen field. The U.S. State Department diplomatic protocol ranks the title ``professor'' higher than the title ``doctor''. It does so in recognition of academic requirements: most professors hold a Ph.D., but not all people who hold a Ph.D. degree are professors. 3. Do you have what it takes? It is difficult for an individual to assess their own capabilities. The following guidelines and questions may be of help. Intelligence: In your college and graduate courses, were you closer to the top of your class or the bottom? How well did you do on the GRE or other standardized tests? Time: Are you prepared to tackle a project larger than any you have undertaken before? You must commit to multiple years of hard work. Are you willing to reduce or forego other activities? Creativity: Research discoveries often arise when one looks at old facts in a new way. Do you shine when solving problems? Do you like ``brain teasers'' and similar puzzles? Are you good at solving them? In school, did you find advanced mathematics enjoyable or difficult? Intense curiosity: Have you always been compelled to understand the world around you and to find out how things work? A natural curiosity makes research easier. Did you fulfill minimum requirements or explore further on your own? Adaptability: Most students are unprepared for Ph.D. study. They find it unexpectedly different than course work. Suddenly thrust into a world in which no one knows the answers, students sometimes flounder. Can you adapt to new ways of thinking? Can you tolerate searching for answers even when no one knows the precise questions? Self-motivation: By the time a student finishes an undergraduate education, they have become accustomed to receiving grades for each course each semester. In a Ph.D. program, work is not divided neatly into separate courses, professors do not partition tasks into little assignments, and the student does not receive a grade for each small step. Are you self-motivated enough to keep working toward a goal without day-to-day encouragement? Competitiveness: If you choose to enroll in a Ph.D. program, you will compete with others at the top. More important, once you graduate, your peers will include some of the brightest people in the world. You will be measured and judged in comparison to them. Are you willing to compete at the Ph.D. level? Maturity: Compared to coursework, which is carefully planned by a teacher, Ph.D. study has less structure. You will have more freedom to set your own goals, determine your daily schedule, and follow interesting ideas. Are you prepared to accept the responsibility that accompanies the additional freedoms? Your success or failure in Ph.D. research depends on it. A few warnings: Students sometimes enroll in a Ph.D. program for the wrong reasons. After a while, such students find that the requirements overwhelm them. Before starting one should realize that a Ph.D. is not: Prestigious in itself Almost everyone who has obtained a Ph.D. is proud of their efforts and the result. However, you should understand that once you graduate, you will work among a group of scientists who each hold a Ph.D. degree. (One faculty member used to chide arrogant graduate students by saying, ``I don't see why you think it's such a great accomplishment -- all my friends have a Ph.D!''). A guarantee of respect for all your opinions Many students believe that once they earn a Ph.D. people will automatically respect all their opinions. You will learn, however, that few people assume a Ph.D. in one subject automatically makes you an authority on others. It is especially true in the science communicaty; respect must be earned. A goal in itself A Ph.D. degree prepares you for research. If all you want is a diploma to hang on the wall, there are much easier ways to obtain one. After you graduate, you will have occasion to compare your record of accomplishment to those of other scientists. You will realize that what counts is the research work accumulated after a scientist finishes their formal education. A job guarantee When an economy slows, everyone can suffer. In fact, some companies reduce research before they reduce production, making Ph.D.s especially vulnerable. Furthermore, once a person earns a Ph.D., many companies will not hire that person for a non-research position. As in most professions, continued employment depends on continued performance. A practical way to impress your family or friends Your mother may be proud and excited when you enroll in a Ph.D. program. After all, she imagines that she will soon be able to brag about her child, ``the doctor.'' However, a desire to impress others is insufficient motivation for the effort required. Something you can ``try'' to find out how smart you are Sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. Unless you make a total commitment, you will fail. You will need to work long hours, face many disappointments, stretch your mental capabilities, and learn to find order among apparently chaotic facts. Unless you have adopted the long-range goal of becoming a researcher, the day-to-day demands will wear you down. Standards will seem unnecessary high; rigor will seem unwarranted. If you only consider it a test, you will eventually walk away. The only research topic you will ever pursue Many students make the mistake of viewing their Ph.D. topic as a research area for life. They assume each researcher only works in one area, always pursues the same topic within that area, and always uses the same tools and approaches. Experienced researchers know that new questions arise constantly, and that old questions can become less interesting as time passes or new facts are discovered. The best people change topics and areas. It keeps them fresh and stimulates thinking. Plan to move on; prepare for change. Easier than entering the work force You will find that the path to successful completion of a Ph.D. becomes much steeper after you begin. The faculty impose constraints on your study, and do not permit unproductive students to remain in the program. Better than the alternatives For many students, a Ph.D. can be a curse. They must choose between being at the top among people who hold a Masters degree or being a mediocre researcher. The faculty sometimes advise students that they must choose between being ``captain of the B team'' or a ``benchwarmer'' on the A team. Everyone must decide what they want, and which profession will stimulate them most. But students should be realistic about their capabilities. If you really cannot determine where you stand, ask faculty members. A way to make more money While we haven't heard any statistics for the past couple of years, graduate students used to estimate the ``payoff'' using the starting salaries of Ph.D. and M.S. positions, the average time required to obtain a Ph.D., the value of stock options, and current return on investments. For a period of at least five years that we know, the payoff was clearly negative. Suffice it to say that one must choose research because one loves it; a Ph.D. is not the optimum road to wealth. The good news: Despite all our warnings, we are proud that we earned Ph.D. degrees and proud of our research accomplishments. If you have the capability and interest, a research career can bring rewards unequaled in any other profession. You will meet and work with some of the brightest people on the planet. You will reach for ideas beyond your grasp, and in so doing extend your intellectual capabilities. You will solve problems that have not been solved before. You will explore concepts that have not been explored. You will uncover principles that change the way people use computers. The joy of research: A colleague summed up the way many researchers feel about their profession. When asked why he spent so many hours in the lab, he noted that the alternatives were to go home, where he would do the same things that millions of others were doing, or to work in his lab, where he could discover things that no other human had ever discovered. The smile on his face told the story: for him, working on research was sheer joy.

PhD is a lot independent work so you can work at a job while you work on the degree. usually the candidate works in their field, teaching or something.
4
My DH is in a full-time PhD program... he will receive his doctorate after 6 years of study. My Dad did a part-time PhD program. Much (MUCH) longer period of time. While you might be thinking that you are going to "lose" money by doing a full-time program, keep in mind that you will probably be given a Teaching Assistantship if you have a Bachelor's degree, or, hired as a lecturer if you have an MBA in hand. You'll make some money as a TA, but just enough to eat and pay rent while having to babysit Freshmen who really should flunk out of school. Lecturers are another matter - better pay and you babysit Sophomores and Juniors. That being said, if it is all about salary, then you really should not get a PhD. If you are looking for a challenge or a change of career path, then you may want to consider a PhD program. I know you are a business major, but the truth of the matter is that sometimes decisions do not boil down to a question of money.
5
No! it is not meant for as FULL TIME STUDENT. You work, earn money, get daily experience and that will help you refine and build thesis. Most importantly, it all depend on self assessment of your own guts, ability, enthusiasm and Patience.
6
Typically, the first year or two is spent in doing required course work. Many universities expect you to be full time during that period, but it varies. Some programs, especially in management, know students may be working at the same time and have course schedules that accommodate that. Check into the programs that interest you to see if that option is available. After coursework is completed, then your time becomes much more your own. You have to write your dissertation, do exams, etc., but you won't be required to be around for coursework. But, warning: the dissertation takes a lot of time, so don't expect that if you are working full time you can chip away at it just on weekends or something. It takes a lot of commitment. The time to degree varies a lot. Check the average wherever you are interested in attending. This will tell you a lot about the program. Both my brother and I did our PhDs in 3 years. YMMV. Good luck!
What i mean is that can someone do a PhD in management while working a normal 40-hr job as a manager? or do we have to stop working and go to school for a 3-4 year term and earn the PhD.? is it worth it then? as if you are making a decent amount of money already, then you just lost 4 years worth of salary in trying to earn the PhD?

The Basics A Doctor of Philosophy degree, abbreviated Ph.D., is the highest academic degree anyone can earn. Because earning a Ph.D. requires extended study and intense intellectual effort, less than one percent of the population attains the degree. Society shows respect for a person who holds a Ph.D. by addressing them with the title ``Doctor''. To earn a Ph.D., one must accomplish two things. First, one must master a specific subject completely. Second, one must extend the body of knowledge about that subject. Mastering A Subject To master a subject, a student searches the published literature to find and read everything that has been written about the subject. In scientific disciplines, a student begins by studying general reference works such as text books. Eventually, the student must also search scholarly journals, the publications that scientists use to exchange information and record reports of their scientific investigations. Each university establishes general guidelines that a student must follow to earn a Ph.D. degree, and each college or department within a university sets specific standards by which it measures mastery of a subject. Usually, in preparing for Ph.D. work in a given field, a student must earn both a Bachelor's and Master's degree (or their equivalent) in that field or in a closely related field. To demonstrate complete mastery of the subject, a student may be required to complete additional graduate-level courses, maintain a high grade average, or take a battery of special examinations. In many institutions, students must do all three. Because examinations given as part of a Ph.D. curriculum assess expert knowledge, they are created and evaluated by a committee of experts, each of whom holds a Ph.D. degree. Extending Knowledge The essence of a Ph.D., the aspect that distinguishes Ph.D. study from other academic work, can be summarized in a single word: research. To extend knowledge, one must explore, investigate, and contemplate. The scientific community uses the term research to capture the idea. In scientific disciplines, research often implies experimentation, but research is more than mere experiments -- it means interpretation and deep understanding. For Computer Scientists, research means searching to uncover the principles that underlie digital computation and communication. A researcher must discover new techniques that aid in building or using computational mechanisms. Researchers look for new abstractions, new approaches, new algorithms, new principles, or new mechanisms. To complete a Ph.D., each student must present results from their research to the faculty in a lengthy, formal document called a dissertation (more popularly referred to as a thesis). The student must then submit their dissertation to the faculty and defend their work an oral examination. Relationship To Products In some cases, the results of scientific research can be used to develop new products or improve those that exist. However, scientists do not use commercial success or potential commercial profits as a measure of their work; they conduct investigations to further human understanding and the body of knowledge humans have compiled. Often, the commercial benefits of scientific research are much greater in the long-term than in the short-term. Research Activities Computer Science research can include such diverse activities as designing and building new computer systems, proving mathematical theorems, writing computer software, measuring the performance of a computer system, using analytical tools to assess a design, or studying the errors programmers make as they build a large software system. Because a researcher chooses the activities appropriate to answer each question that arises in a research investigation, and because new questions arise as an investigation proceeds, research activities vary from project to project and over time in a single project. A researcher must be prepared to use a variety of approaches and tools. A Few Questions To Ask Many of you are trying to decide whether to pursue a Ph.D. degree.

If, however, you want a non-research career, a Ph.D. is definitely not for you. 2. Do you want an academic position? A Ph.D. is the de facto ``union card'' for an academic position. Although it is possible to obtain an academic position without a Ph.D., the chances are low.

I don't know of a single "knowledge management" PhD program, but that's probably because I avoid any type of management research like I avoid the plague. Anywho, if you want to find a good place to go, sit down and start reading articles on the subject. After you have read enough you will start to get an idea of what aspect of "knowledge management" you would like to go in to, and also figure out whose research interests align with yours. From there the choice is simple, go to wherever the people you want to work with are. Good luck!

Your best course of action will be to look into a doctoral level business management program that has an emphasis on knowledge management. Like the other reviewer mentioned, once your begin to explore the topic of knowledge management you'll see that it touches across many disciplines -- especially philosophy and decision science. There are several online schools that offer a degree in management with a concentration in knowledge management. There are even more brick and mortar schools that have programs centered around learning and knowledge management. Good luck.

This depends on the university you choose to go to. Each university has their own tuition and fees guidelines. As for period of time, this will depend on many things. Some colleges give what they call "life learning" credits that will help you fulfill course requirements based on your work/school history...such as if you ever worked in construction or studied construction in a vocational training program (also working/volunteering for programs such as Habitat for Humanity or other home building agencies will help here), others use something that is called CLEP or DANTES (there are a variety of other names as well). These are optional tests that you can take, if you feel you have college level knowledge of a certain subject. These can also shorten the length of time you spend in college. Not all colleges accept CLEP or DANTES, but you can peruse the information at: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html and http://www.dantes.doded.mil/dantes_web/examinations/index.htm?Flag=True I do not know much about this major, so I can't give you a time line of how long it would take without any of the above mentioned credit options.

Your question and explanation is a little hard to understand. However, if you are asking if you can complete a Ph.D. program without having your Master's degree, then the answer is yes. If you already know this and are asking whether you should do the Master's first or just skip it and go to a Ph.D., then it is up to you. I personally think it is best to do the Ph.D. as soon as you can and get it over with, it can be quite brutal. They usually award the Master's along the way.
I have attempted for my Mcom abnd want to do Phd in Management subjects,please suggest should I first do Mphil and then PhD or directly PhD ?

Your question and explanation is a little hard to understand. However, if you are asking if you can complete a Ph.D. program without having your Master's degree, then the answer is yes. If you already know this and are asking whether you should do the Master's first or just skip it and go to a Ph.D., then it is up to you. I personally think it is best to do the Ph.D. as soon as you can and get it over with, it can be quite brutal. They usually award the Master's along the way.

before you know the cost, you have to aplly for the degree from the college. you can easilly make it by applying an application from http://directdegree.info/
2
You will not find any institution in the United States or Canada that will offer free education. However you may be able to get funding through the university but the amount will vary from university to university. Graduate schools increasingly encourage their students to seek outside funding; many are supported by fellowships they obtain for themselves or by their advisors' research grants from government agencies. This is something which you should either research yourself or talk to the international student advisor about at your chosen university.
3
you can apply to any university ,but first you have to give a good scores of GRE and TOEFL Exam which are conducted by praxis.and then apply to Management college And then if the college gives you admission then well and good, they give you admission and also gives you stifund for every month but you have to work for the professor for certain amount of time and stifund is about 1500 to 2000 but it is a cool deal bcoz on one side you get your Phd and on the other you get the stifund and money to spend on living And Last but not the least FOR Phd there is no fees as far as I know but you have to get good scores in GRE and TOEFL so that you can get admission in good and reputed college .

If you like actually making money and having a job, a PhD in management is the only choice. If, on the other hand, salary is of no consequence and you don't care whether you are gainfully employed, do sociology. With a PhD from a business school, finding a job as a professor is almost too easy (if you can speak English), unlike nearly every other field where the supply id far greater than the demand.

Yes, there are PhD degrees in Engineering Management. Some are available on-line. They're mainly for people who want to contribute to Engineering Management theory or teach in Engineering schools. ("Practitioners" usually stop at the Master's in Engineering Management, which, incidentally, is often superior to an MBA for Engineering). A PhD in Engineering management does not make someone a better candidate for high promotion in engineering management — companies don't work that way. There are also doctorate degree in Technology Management, which is more practical.

In spite of all things, Australia still discriminates .... More British style and same autocratic style. Good luck,

Get a list of universities that offer doctoral programs in management. A good website for this is: https://datadirect.aacsb.edu/public/profiles/search.cfm Visit their websites and learn about doctoral admission requirements. PhD admissions are usually very selective and requires that you have a few research projects in mind. The best thing you can do is to contact the admissions director for doctoral programs in your field along with some professors who share your research interests since most of the time your admission depends on these professors' interest to work with you.

You can't do a PhD in management from a decent university part time. They require a full time commitment... Now if you don't care about the quality of the education or opportunities upon graduating, then I'm sure there are some degree mills out there that will hand you a PhD in exchange for some money and a small amount of your time.

This is a very difficult task, and I will tell you why. People with business degrees make money. Schools don't need to lure good grad students to their schools with money, because the applicant pool is big. Also, once you graduate, the school will hit you up for even more money. Furthermore, many employers will pay for you to go to grad school (by many I mean a few that are large). But you want a PhD, meaning you want to go into academia. This is a new twist. I know that many schools offer fellowships. to get one, you must be a bad ass. You must have work experience (not just driving pizza) and a kick ass GPA and GMAT score. Apply to your dream school and schools that you are more than positive you can get into. SELL YOURSELF. Use that marketing course you took. Use your knowledge. Don't get discouraged. It will be a difficult road. But if you can accomplish the feat... the world is your oyster.

Get a copy of Peterson's Guide (for residential schools) and Bears' Guide (for online schools). Get some university catalogs (or go to their websites). Get the schools' applications (or download them from websites or apply online). Get a student visa from the U. S. Immigration & Naturalization Service. Find out about financial aid. I'm not sure if foreign students qualify for US government based financial aid http://www.fafsa.ed.gov but you could look into financial aid from your own government. Private financial aid is locatable through http://www.fastweb.com and you could also go to http://www.amazon.com to locate scholarship books. Also go to the financial aid office of the schools you are applying to as well as contacting your department about teaching assistantships. You will also need to look into taking the Gtraduate Management Admissions Test. Also, contact some of your old professors (usually three) about getting letters of recommendation and work on writing your personal essay.
2
Start getting a list together of full time Ph.D. programs at major universities (Ph.D.'s take a long time as a full-time student... trying to do it part time may be a 10 year+ process). Most of them will require a GMAT score, plus your undergrad and MBA transcripts. Depending on your country of origin, you may need to provide a TOEFL score as well. Make sure that these schools were accredited! If you went to college at Bob Jones University, be prepared to retake your senior year (yes, this did actually occur to someone I know). Ph.D. programs are highly selective, so they are discriminating over which schools' alumni they will accept. Then, apply to the programs that interest you. Once you are accepted, they will refer you to the International Student Office to walk you through the process of Student VISA sponsorship. As long as you are attending a MAJOR research university, then this is a relatively easy process. One of the major hurdles for you is to prove your financial stability for the time that you will be in the States. This might be a letter from the university detailing any scholarships that you received or teaching assignments, research assistantships, or fellowships to which you have been appointed. Otherwise, it's a letter from your bank saying that you have enough cash to cover tuition, room, and board. The Int'l Student Office will then discuss your housing needs, and possibly get you in touch with a community member or classmate to help you with the logistics of your move. Good luck!

The only good news for you is that most reputable PhD programs in business schools give financial aid to their PhD students in the form of fellowships, research assistantships and teaching assistantships. At least 15 of the top 20 business schools are in the US.

The above submission is from an idiot who most likely does not have a degree. He is full of shit. I know a dean of a dept at a state university who got his PhD online. It can happen. Just remember that if your looking for a tier 1 associate professor position having an online PhD will not get you the position. But.... you can get associate positions with tier 2 or 3 schools (State level and lower private institutions). Your chances of working in reaserch are about nill, but the chance to work in academia is there. Just make sure if you use an online university that it is accredited on the regional or national level. Check out http://www.ncu.edu they have an business PhD and DBA program that is accredited that might fit what your looking for.
I am thinking of pursuing PhD in interdisciplinary subjects of management and Computer Sciecen. I need information of some good reputed universities that offer such a PhD and also offers it free or with a very nominal cost. I am from India working as a Program Manager for a VOIP Startup and have a BEng Hons Degree in Comp Science. I want to earn this PhD through a University of repute and I am not planning to become a Prof anyway. I am working in IT Industry and want to remain a Professional in R&D and Management in Industry not in Academics. My interest in Phd is to undestand about teh IT Industry growth, its future, Venture capital, IT Startups, Role of India and other eveloping countries in IT how does this affect the global economy etc. How does these companies get acquired by giants etc. And another criteria is that I am not willing to spend hundreds of $ on the PhD I am looking for nearly free course, as I have research experience as well and solid Management experience of 2 years at Program Manager Level and general IT experience of 5 years. Looking for exact and clear answers.
