- 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.
