The Kenan-Flagler Business School offers programs of graduate study leading to the degrees of master of business administration, master of accounting, and doctor of philosophy. The school is committed to providing cutting-edge, real-world business education and research. Known for its collegial, intimate environment and selective, diverse admissions, the school prepares tomorrow's leaders in business and industry.

The school pioneered the team approach to learning more than a quarter century ago and has more recently added cross-functional, entrepreneurial, and global priorities to its curriculum.

Kenan-Flagler is recognized for world-class teaching. The faculty consistently has been nationally ranked for teaching excellence, availability, and responsiveness to students and emphasis on relevant, applied research and case development. Through these efforts, the faculty constantly strive to give students great opportunities for learning.

In fall 1997, the Kenan-Flagler Business School moved to its new state-of-the-art facility located on South Campus. Building features include eighteen classrooms with multimedia capabilities, a 456-seat auditorium, and a 250-plus seat multipurpose dining pavilion and activity space.

The world-class McColl Building is a hub of learning, teaching, and research. Each classroom, office, and study room is designed for maximum use and technological efficiency to support these activities. The building includes: an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) backbone network providing high-speed transmissions within the school and on the Internet; ports in many rooms that allow students to connect laptops from virtually anywhere in the building; a network operating at 100 megabits per second; a computer lab with state-of-the-art multimedia workstations; and network servers that provide students with online access to a number of CDs for company research and historical financial market data.

Master of Business Administration

The Kenan-Flagler Business School's highly ranked master of business administration (MBA) program provides exceptional students the opportunity to develop outstanding functional and analytical skills and the vision of a general manager. The two-year program combines a first year of core courses designed to provide a general management background, technical and analytical expertise, and exposure to decision making in all functional areas of business. The second year provides the opportunity to concentrate in areas of student interest and faculty expertise.

Application forms and a brochure containing detailed information may be obtained by contacting the Kenan-Flagler Business School MBA Admissions Office, CB# 3490, McColl Building, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3490; (919) 962-3236; mba_info@unc.edu , www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mba.

Master of Accounting

The Kenan-Flagler Business School's master of accounting (MAC) program's unique approach to accounting and business education involves a challenging curriculum that integrates accounting with other business disciplines and emphasizes the application of accounting concepts to current business issues. The goal of the accounting and business courses is to create well-rounded business advisers who can compete in the international business world. Rather than specializing in specific areas of accounting, MAC students take a broad but balanced series of accounting courses that focus on skill development, problem solving, and decision making in business situations. The business core courses are designed specifically for MAC students to emphasize accounting and business consulting skills. The program develops students' communication and leadership skills, giving them a competitive advantage in today's tight job market and enhancing their ability to succeed in the accounting profession.

The MAC program is designed for candidates holding undergraduate degrees in liberal arts, sciences, business, and other nonaccounting disciplines. Candidates earn the MAC degree in twelve months of concentrated study. The application deadlines are August 1 (for UNC business majors only), December 1, and March 1. Because admission is competitive and some decisions are made on a rolling basis, applicants are encouraged to apply early.

Application forms and a brochure containing detailed information may be obtained by contacting the Kenan-Flagler Business School MAC Admissions Office, CB# 3490, McColl Building, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3490; (919) 962-3186; mac_info@unc.edu , www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mac.

The Executive MBA Program

The Executive MBA (EMBA) Program provides working professionals the opportunity to acquire the traditional MBA degree without interrupting their careers. Kenan-Flagler offers two attendance options for completing the Executive MBA degree program.

The EMBA Evening Program classes are held on Monday and Thursday evenings for twenty-four months. This program is best suited for professionals who live and work in the Triangle area and have careers that do not require frequent weekday travel.

The EMBA Weekend Program classes are held on alternate weekends (all day Friday and Saturday) for twenty months with two mandatory weeklong residencies for intensive course work. This program is best suited for professionals who travel extensively or who live too far from Chapel Hill to make attending evening classes feasible.

Application forms and a brochure containing detailed information about the program may be obtained by contacting the Executive MBA Program, Kenan-Flagler Business School, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, CB# 3490, McColl Building, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3490; (800) 453-9515; emba@unc.edu , www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/emba.

Doctor of Philosophy

The PhD program in business administration is designed for individuals who plan careers in research and teaching. A limited number of students are admitted each year, resulting in a high-quality learning environment that emphasizes rigor and personal attention. Although many students enter the program with an MBA, this degree is not a requirement for admission. However, an MBA from an accredited institution usually allows the student to waive some of the business fundamentals requirements. Prior to admission to the doctoral program, students are expected to have a knowledge of elementary calculus and basic computer skills. A foreign language is not required for graduation from the program. Research and teaching assistantships are available on a competitive basis.

The requirements for the PhD in business administration are:

Business Fundamentals. All PhD students are expected to possess or to acquire a basic knowledge of accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behavior, and production. This requirement involves a level of competence roughly equivalent to the MBA core courses on these topics. Most students entering with an MBA or similar degree meet this requirement without additional course work. Appropriate courses will be recommended for students who do not meet this requirement prior to beginning the program.

Economics. All PhD students are expected to possess or to acquire a knowledge of microeconomic and macroeconomic theory. The basic requirement is an MBA or graduate-level course on each topic. Once again, most students with an MBA meet this requirement without additional course work. However, individual areas within the Business School (e.g., finance) may require that students take specific courses after entering the program to meet this requirement. Appropriate courses will be recommended for students who do not meet this requirement prior to beginning the program.

Research Methods/Quantitative Methodologies. All PhD students are required to take five courses (fifteen hours) in Research Methods/Quantitative Methodologies. At least one course (three hours) must be a research methods course covering topics such as philosophy of science, research design, sample selection, etc. At least three of the courses (nine hours) must focus on quantitative methodologies such as statistics, operations research, econometrics, etc. The fifth course (three hours) may be a more specialized research methods course (e.g., survey research, lab experimentation) or another quantitative methodologies course.

Major Area of Concentration. All PhD students are required to declare a major area. The major area consists of six courses (eighteen hours). Students may concentrate in one of the following areas:

These courses may be a combination of required courses offered within the major area, required courses offered outside of the major area, or approved elective courses.

top of page

Supporting Area. All PhD students are required to declare a supporting area. The supporting area consists of four courses (twelve hours). The supporting area allows the student to develop a strong expertise in an area related to the student's research and teaching interests. These courses are usually drawn from a single area within the Business School or from a specific outside department, but a student may assemble four courses from more than one area if the courses represent a coherent package.

Research Paper. During the summer and fall following the first year, all PhD students are required to complete a research paper. The paper must be evaluated and approved by the student's faculty. The primary purpose of this paper is to provide the student with important research experience and to develop research and writing skills. Most of these papers are later presented at professional meetings and many lead to publication. Some papers develop into dissertations.

Comprehensive Examination. All PhD students must pass a written comprehensive examination on the student's major area of concentration and relevant material from the other requirements. Students usually take this examination after completing course work, typically at the end of the second year. Some areas may require an oral examination after completion of the written examination.

top of page

Dissertation. All PhD students are required to complete a dissertation prior to graduation from the program. The dissertation is a thorough theoretical and empirical investigation of a specific problem important to the student's major area. The dissertation's value is in its contribution to knowledge, in the scholarly manner in which it is organized and presented, and in the demonstrated development of the student's conceptual and research skills. Before substantial work on the dissertation is undertaken, a written dissertation proposal must be presented and approved by the student's dissertation committee. In most cases, the dissertation proposal is completed during the student's third year in residence and the dissertation is completed during the fourth year.

Teaching and Research. All students are required to serve as a teaching assistant for at least one semester and as a research assistant for at least one semester. Students are also required to work with faculty prior to that semester on the development of their teaching skills.

Scholarships and Fellowships

Available to doctoral students in business administration are a number of assistantships, each with a value of $16,900 for the academic year. The school provides summer assistantships for doctoral students who receive awards from the University or the school during the academic year. These assistantships carry stipends of $3,100 for the summer. Once a doctoral student is awarded financial aid, the school generally provides support for eight semesters if the student is making satisfactory academic progress.
