The John E. Anderson Graduate School of Management at UCLA offers both a Master of Science (M.S.) and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Management. While students are primarily admitted with a Ph.D. objective, an M.S. degree may be awarded under specific circumstances if a doctoral student exits the program before completing all Ph.D. requirements. The program is structured around eight distinct areas of study, allowing students to specialize in fields such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Strategy, and more. The doctoral program emphasizes research preparation and requires comprehensive examinations before advancement to candidacy.
Curriculum
The M.S. degree requires nine graduate-level courses (36 units), with at least six courses in Management. The remaining three can be electives in Management or related disciplines. For the Ph.D., students must complete a research preparation requirement, including specific research courses and a first-year summer paper. A breadth requirement of eight courses outside the major field is also mandatory. Specific major field courses are designed to prepare students for examinations.
