The SFU Beedie PhD program offers core and methodology courses, along with advanced study in areas of specialization. You can expect an experiential PhD education that immerses you in research and seminars, and connects you to faculty members from the first day. You will receive mentoring and guidance to present your papers at conferences, as well as the opportunity to study abroad during your PhD.
All students specialize in a traditional business discipline while being exposed to areas of specializations and methodologies. The goal is to develop highly capable and intellectually broad scholars for careers in academia. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
