Leading-edge research and the ability to create new knowledge are the hallmarks of a truly great business school. As part of Canada's leading research University, the Rotman School of Management has a proud history of excellence in business education and research. At present, five of the seven fellows of the prestigious Royal Society of Canada teaching at Canadian business schools are Rotman professors. Numerous other faculty are widely recognized as leading scholars in their fields internationally.

It’s an exciting time to be at the Rotman School. Located in downtown Toronto, North America’s third largest financial centre, and part of the University of Toronto, Canada’s top teaching and research university, Rotman has all the advantages of its global peers, plus a bold vision for business education that can’t be found anywhere else.

The Rotman School is looking for a small group of exceptionally gifted applicants to join our team of great minds. By limiting enrollment, the Rotman PhD program allows for a high degree of interaction between students and faculty, unparalleled opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, and the formation of strong global industry partnerships.

By the time PhD students graduate, they will have had front-line experience teaching Canada's top business students, presenting at academic conferences, and publishing research articles. In addition, students will work closely with others in the program to develop a strong network of social and professional relationships with top scholars in Rotman's many academic streams.

A highly diverse group of students from many countries, cultures and backgrounds, Rotman PhDs lead in their fields of research and are aggressively sought after by universities, government and industry worldwide. Recently, our graduates have obtained tenure-track positions at some of the world's most prestigious business schools.

It's never been a better time to become a part of the Rotman community. We hope you will consider an application for admission to our world-class program.
