    Please join us at the Academy of Management 2010 in Montreal for a lively caucus discussion on the Professional Doctorate.  

     

    Tuesday, August 10, 1:15 PM – 2:45 PM at Le Palais Des Congres, Room 522C

     

    The Professional Doctorate: Gaining a deeper understanding of curriculum design, student experiences, and program management challenges

     

    Our agenda will include:

    • Clarifying a goal to produce viable research questions on researchable topics about professional doctorates.
    • A brief portrayal of how the topic of professional doctorates has been covered at AOM over the past few years.
    • An initial listing of schools currently offering professional doctorates.
    • Caucus discussions of key characteristics shaping a professional doctorate, including curriculum design, role of faculty, patterns of student participation, format of final product, and career path of graduates.
    • Take-aways and next steps for building a community of interest on this topic.

    See the attached file for a full description of our plan for this caucus. We look forward to having you join in this interesting discussion.

     

    Best wishes from the organizers,
