Created exclusively for The PhD Project Doctoral Student Association (DSA) members, our social utility and networking site allows you to connect with other doctoral students, DSA alumni and prospective candidates. Join today to take advantage of this exclusive resource!

The PhD Project was established in 1994 to increase the diversity of corporate America by increasing the diversity of business school faculty. The PhD Project Doctoral Students Associations (DSAs) were subsequently created to provide networking, peer support, mentoring and joint research opportunities for minority business doctoral students throughout their doctoral programs. And it works -- the completion rate among these doctoral students is over 90% as compared to a less than 70% national average.

There are 5 discipline specific associations covering the major areas of business education: Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Management, Marketing.

To be eligible for membership in one of these associations, you must be
1) African-American, Hispanic-American or Native American
2) a U.S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident
3) admitted to, or enrolled in, a full-time, AACSB-accredited U.S. business doctoral program

If you would like more information about membership in The PhD Project contact Myrna Varner at myrnavarner@kpmg.com.
