Overview


Learning Outside the Classroom / Events


There are a variety of opportunities beyond the classroom for students to expand the breadth and depth of their knowledge, as well as to share their own research with others.

The PhD program supports several ongoing and annual events:

  • Research Colloquia – provide a forum for interaction among faculty, students, and visitors interested in new ideas and applications to the fields of business and management.
  • Ph.D. “Brown Bag” – offer an opportunity for our doctoral students and faculty to exchange ideas on current issues and developments in their area of specialization. 
  • Conferences – Professional academic associations aim to nurture and support doctoral students in their professional aspirations in academia.  
  • Research Fests – provides a collegial, walk-around forum for our students to showcase their work with other UC Irvine doctoral students, faculty, PhD alumni, and members of the outside community.
