Executive Ph.D. in Business
Launched in 2016, the Executive Ph.D. in Business serves experienced executives who seek the advanced knowledge and skills needed to conduct high quality research on critical issues facing the business community. This part-time program challenges students to dive deeply into the scholarly literature and master advanced research methods in their chosen business discipline. Students blend this scholarly knowledge with their business experience to create novel insights embodied in a dissertation that addresses a complex business problem. Importantly, students develop the skills needed to publish their research in high-quality research journals. Students who graduate from this program can pursue careers in research-oriented business schools, in government, in industry, or in the non-profit sector.
Prospective students should plan a three year commitment to build the credentials needed to earn this unique and rigorous Ph.D. degree.

Degree Requirements
Minimum GPA: 3.0
Institution code: 5859
Credit Requirements:
The Virginia Tech Ph.D. in Business requires a minimum of 90 credit hours. The program for the Executive Ph.D. in Business assumes prior graduate study in business or a related field from which a maximum of 30 relevant credits can be transferred to meet core credit requirements.
The remainder (a minimum of 60 credits) will include at least 30 credits of graded coursework (disciplinary/interdisciplinary and methodology seminars) and a minimum of 30 research/dissertation credits.
Graded Coursework:
The fall and spring terms during years 1 and 2 use a hybrid delivery format. Classes meet in-person 10 weekends a year: one weekend (Friday afternoon and evening, and Saturday morning and afternoon) per month, except July and December. These mandatory residential sessions help the Executive Ph.D. student assimilate into the Pamplin community and facilitate face-to-face interactions with faculty, potential research mentors, student peers, and academic tutors who support coursework. There are 3 additional online Saturdays (morning and afternoon), in Fall and Spring.
During Year 1 and 2, students should plan on attending 10 residential sessions (Summer: 2; Fall: 4; Spring: 4). In Year 3, when students are working on their dissertation proposals there are only four residencies (Fall: 2 and Spring: 2). No formal residencies are planned thereafter. However, students are always welcome and encouraged to attend in-person activities. During this period, students are strongly encouraged to communicate regularly and substantively with their Ph.D. Dissertation Committees.
The study plan for the program lays out the registration schedule for the research and dissertation (R&D) credits. At the end of Year 1, students register for 8 R&D credits (literature review and identification of research gap). At the end of Year 2, students register for 8 R&D credits (methodology design, preliminary results, and dissertation proposal). Students in Year 3 register for 20 R&D credits during which they work on the remainder of their research execution, results write-up, and dissertation defense. A minimum of 30 R&D credits must be accumulated during the program. In the event a student over-runs into year 4 or beyond, the student is required to maintain continuing enrollment (3 R&D credits each Spring and Fall).
In Year 3, each student may have an opportunity to obtain teaching experience. This may involve teaching an online or face-to-face graduate or undergraduate class in Pamplin. This experience is helpful for gaining the pedagogical skills integral to a Ph.D. degree.
