Meet the scholars who will shape the future of business.

Simon PhD students are analytical, creative, and well-versed in solving complex business problems. There isn’t a conventional Simon candidate; we help each student maximize their own unique potential.

Inside the Simon Marketing PhD

The Marketing PhD focuses on the demand and supply of products and services. Our students acquire a powerful skillset based in economics, econometrics, statistics, machine learning, and causal inference. These skills ensure our candidates are equipped to answer substantive questions in marketing by applying or developing new empirical approaches.
