Share the dream of mentoring the next generation.

Since 1994, The PhD Project has more than tripled the number of minority business school professors…from 294 to over 898. These individuals are inspiring and encouraging a new generation of business professionals.

Are you ready to be the next role model? Currently, The PhD Project has more than 400 minority doctoral student members pursuing their dream. Like you, they were professionals or recent grads satisfying their quest for a high level of achievement and answering the call to mentor. With an expansive network of support, The PhD Project is now helping them prepare for success in academia.

Participation in The PhD Project is available to anyone of African-American, Hispanic American and Native American descent who is interested in business doctoral studies. The development of management educators and future business leaders within the African-American, Hispanic American and Native American communities is the cornerstone of The PhD Project's holistic approach to workforce diversity. The shared mission of everyone involved is to increase minority representation among business professors, business schools graduates, and ultimately, practicing management professionals.
