Haskayne PhD

Generous Funding Package

Our funding package is one the most generous among the Canadian business schools. We pay full tuition to all students admitted. We provide in excess of $120,000 over four years plus partial funding in year 5 to all incoming PhD students. We also support each student’s participation and attendance at academic conferences (subject to approval) to encourage presenting research and building networks.

The main mission of the PhD program in Accounting at the Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary, is to prepare prospective faculty members for positions at reputable business schools in Canada and around the world. Our graduates teach and research in schools such as American University of Cairo, Concordia University, Mount Royal University, University of Ottawa, Royal Roads University. University of Texas-Pan American and York University.

Some of the factors that make our graduates successful include a rigorous admission process, training in core business, accounting, and statistics. In addition to five core seminars in business and research methodology, our students are required to complete four seminars in accounting research, one seminar in a minor area (Corporate Sustainability and Finance are popular choices) and two statistics courses. For their seminar courses students are required to take Managerial Accounting Seminar, Financial Accounting Seminar, and Paradigms, Issues, and Methods.  They may choose from other optional courses including Evaluating Environmental Performance, Tax, Advanced Financial, and Advanced Managerial or other Special Topics (as a directed study). Additionally, the Accounting Area holds a regular series of research presentations by our faculty members and well-known researchers from other universities, as part of or independently of these courses. With help from their professors, PhD students undertake their own research project through a summer research program at the end of their first year, which may be further developed for conference presentation and/or expanded into dissertation research. PhD students are frequently provided with opportunities to work with professors on accounting research projects.  

Financial aid is available to some of our students through the Chartered Accountants Education Foundation, and the Certified Management Accountants.  Please view their websites for specific requirements for applying.  PhD students, along with professors, can apply for small amounts of funding to support research projects through the Certified Management Accountants and Certified General Accountants internal research competitions.  Other competitive awards that may be of interest to support research are the Peter Valentine Corporate Governance Award and the Enbridge Corporate Sustainability Award Doctoral Scholarship, if doing research on these topics.

When ready, students are encouraged to attend and present papers at the Canadian Academic Accounting Association (CAAA), the American Accounting Association (AAA), the European Accounting Association (EAA), and the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC).  Students can also attend the Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) conference as a PhD participant.  Other conferences of regional or special interest, depending on the student’s area of research, may also be encouraged.  There are also a number of PhD doctoral consortiums that can be attended.

PhD students are free to select their own topic of interest for their dissertation research; however, most students choose a topic of interest they may share with one of the accounting professors. Some topics that have been investigated in the past include international accounting, capital markets, intellectual capital, public sector accounting, managerial performance systems, and corporate sustainability.  Methods include experimental, events studies using archival data, case studies, empirical analysis, and others.  Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used as well. Our graduates publish in such quality journals as Journal of Accounting Research (JAR), Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR), Accounting, Organization and Society (AOS), and Journal of Business Ethics. Many of our graduates serve as associate editors or in the editorial boards of reputable journals.

The Ph.D. Program in Management Information Systems (MIS), which also goes under the name Business Technology Management (BTM), at the Haskayne School of Business (HSB) is a research-based program designed to prepare candidates to become strong scholars at universities and other research-based institutions.

The focus of the Ph.D. program in MIS/BTM at HSB is on the economics of information systems, otherwise known as the “econ of IS”, and related areas. The course work, which covers about two years, is designed to prepare the candidates in economics, econometrics, research methods, quantitative methods, and state-of-the-art research in the econ of IS.

Active participation in research with one or more faculty members begins no later than the first summer. All research faculty in MIS/BTM have one or more publications in the field’s top journals, and this provides a strong basis for guidance and future prospects.

Recent research areas include:

• Productivity impacts of Information technology (IT)
• E-commerce and channels of distribution
• Electronic retailing
• Platform-mediated networks
• Online data and reputations
• Economics of user-generated content
• Business process reengineering
• IT outsourcing
• Adaptive control in scheduling
• Price quotation in supply chains

The Haskayne PhD in Entrepreneurship and Innovation offers students an opportunity to work with faculty who are committed to excellence in theoretical foundations and a variety of research methodologies, preparing them for academic careers.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ENTI) is an interdisciplinary domain that focuses on the activities, people and context involved in initiating, developing, and maintaining an enterprise or innovation. Among topics of interest are new venture opportunities, strategies, and resources; entrepreneurship ecosystems; the owner-manager; the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development; family business; crowdfunding; start-up governance; social entrepreneurship; intrapreneurship; and international entrepreneurship and policy.

In addition, because entrepreneurship often involves technological innovations, the specialization includes scholarship and dialogue on the management of innovation and technological change, technology strategy, technology-based entrepreneurship, and the commercialization of scientific research.

We encourage students to examine the questions of the field from multiple perspectives and draw upon a wide range of foundational disciplines, including economics, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.

Area chair: Dr. Olga Petricevic , Associate Professor

The PhD program in Finance at the Haskayne School of Business is a technical, rigorous, academic program designed to prepare you for a career as a researcher and scholar. You will get a solid education in the mainstreams of finance research and be trained in the professional skills that are necessary to pursue a successful career in academia. The program is intense and requires a lot of dedication and a positive work attitude. Our faculty will work with students in all major areas of finance research including: corporate finance, asset pricing, banking, corporate governance, mathematical finance, and entrepreneurship.   You will work with your advisor to select finance courses that will optimally prepare you for your chosen field of study. To augment the finance courses, students are often encouraged to take classes from mathematics and/or economics. Please visit our University of Calgary Calendar for a description of available courses and prerequisites.

Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources | Strategy & Global Management

The doctoral programs in SGMA and OBHR are closely aligned, and encourage students to adopt multi-disciplinary and multi-methodology approaches in their research.

The key question to be answered in any SGMA or OBHR thesis is always: how to increase the effectiveness and/or efficiency of a managerial practice with a view to contribute to the firm’s competitive advantage?  

There is considerable flexibility in choosing the thesis subject, i.e., the selected managerial practice’s nature and scope. Such practice may be observable at the level of the individual decision-maker, a team, a sub-unit within the firm, the firm, a strategic alliance or even an industry. 

Answering the key question in a SGMA or OBHR dissertation must build on solid conceptual foundations and take advantage of state-of-the-art empirical methodologies, both in the quantitative and qualitative sphere.

Students are encouraged to adopt an integrative approach, drawing conceptual insight from foundational disciplines such as applied psychology, micro-economics (especially the law, economics and organization branch of micro-economics) and other complementary disciplines with proven potential to answer in a rigorous fashion the key question considered.

The focus should be on gaining an in-depth understanding of the practice at hand in terms of its strengths (or benefits) and weaknesses (or costs), and on developing or evaluating a set of actionable paths towards improving the practice.

For example, work on non-market strategies of firms may require delving into political science, the institutional-theory strand of sociology, and law. As another example, work on designing effective human resources management practices in multinational enterprises may require a serious grounding in conceptual frameworks related to societal culture and organizational behaviour, and deep knowledge of the modern economics-based theory of the multinational enterprise.

All SGMA and OBHR students will be expected to master advanced statistics as used in the leading management journals (such as the Academy of Management Journal), and have an equivalent command of qualitative research methods .

The SGMA and OBHR doctoral programs will provide the PhD students with the multi-disciplinary and multi-methodology training required to examine issues of managerial effectiveness and efficiency in a large variety of organizational settings. 

Students will be supervised by a select group of Haskayne faculty members, who have published in leading academic journals and whose expectation is that each thesis will consist of a set of high quality essays publishable in refereed journals. These faculty members have a history of co-publishing with their students on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the determinants of job satisfaction, to meta-analyses on a wide variety of organizational phenomena, and the strategy and structure of the world’s largest companies.  Take a look at the SGMA and  OBHR faculty members’ research records to see if there is an overlap in interests.

OBHR Area chair:  Dr. Nick Turner , Professor, Distinguished Research Chair, ABL

SGMA Area chair: Dr. Pengfei Li , Associate Professor

You will also be encouraged to take several courses in statistics and quantitative methods.  Please visit our University of Calgary Calendar for a description of available courses and prerequisites.

Area chair: Dr. Scott Radford , Associate Professor

As a doctoral student in the Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) area, you will have the opportunity to work closely with faculty members who are dedicated to excellence in both research and teaching.  Two particular research strengths of our faculty are:

• Health care operations management, specifically health care delivery optimization through addressing problems of access to care and quality/safety, employing quantitative tools as well as qualitative and empirical studies of health services, and
• Supply chain management, encompassing all aspects, from operations strategy – maximizing responsiveness through flexibility, collaboration and logistics – through supply chain network design, including facility layout and location.

Coursework will be tailored to individual interests but will include a series of seminars to provide in-depth knowledge of research in operations management and exposure to a variety of management science techniques.

Area chair:  Dr. Osman Alp , Professor

The Haskayne School of Business (HSB) doctoral degree in Risk Management and Insurance is a rigorous, research-based academic program.  This program is intensive and the expectations are high.  At graduation, you will have developed a solid theoretical foundation and strong analytical skills to prepare you for a career in university teaching and research.

Depending on your research interests, you will be encouraged to take courses in the foundational disciplines to complement your marketing training. You will also be encouraged to take courses in both qualitative and quantitative methods.  Please visit our University of Calgary Calendar for a description of available courses and prerequisites.

Please note:  Applicants interested in financial risk management should visit the page for FINANCE.

Area chair: Dr. Anne Kleffner , Professor

Cross-Disciplinary Programs

The business school supports the efforts of students wishing to combine a doctoral program in management with doctoral studies in another discipline. These joint programs are individually tailored to meet student interests and needs. Students in cross-disciplinary programs must be highly qualified because it is difficult to meet the standards of two specializations.

View program information

My time as a graduate student at the University of Calgary was truly wonderful. I received excellent training in an extremely diverse range of philosophical areas; in my case this included the philosophy of science, ethics, and logic. My professors, and especially my advisor, always encouraged and supported me as a philosopher (and person, too).

UCalgary doctoral students research interventions for older refugees and pregnant women

Asma Bernier, Faculty of Graduate Studies

Share this article

Focusing on new practices and technologies to better the outcomes of certain groups is an integral part to the 2023 Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (Vanier CGS) winners’ research. The Vanier CGS program recognizes highly qualified doctoral students who are leading researchers in their fields. This prestigious scholarship aims to attract excellent doctoral students by providing academic recognition and financial support, valued at $50,000 per year for three years, for their research pursuits.  “The research that these graduate students undertake is inspirational and opening up important conversations that will impact our communities on both a local and global scale,” says Dr. Tara Beattie, dean and vice-provost, Faculty of Graduate Studies.  “Becoming a Vanier Scholar gives our graduate students important recognition and funding to help propel these conversations and research forward in transforming the future. I’m delighted to see this generation of scholars follow in the steps of those previous to continue this important work.” Philippa Ngaju and Prince Chiagozie Ekoh — two winners of the 2023 Vanier CGS Program at the University of Calgary — are contributing to transformative research through the development of new interventions for older adult refugees and extending technologies for preeclampsia patients.  Philippa Ngaju, a second-year PhD student in biomedical engineering at the Schulich School of Engineering, is dedicated to her research on point-of-care paper-based biosensors for biomarker detection of early-stage preeclampsia. Paper-based biosensors can be likened to a pregnancy test and are affordable platforms for simple, accurate and rapid detection of diseases. 

Before her doctoral studies at the University of Calgary, Ngaju spent considerable time working in health innovation by designing medical devices for resource-constrained settings in Uganda, her home country. Her doctoral research extends this work as she aims to solve problems that impact vulnerable populations, specifically expecting mothers with preeclampsia. “Preeclampsia, sometimes referred to as gestational hypertension, is a serious life-threatening condition characterized by persistent blood pressure during pregnancy,” Ngaju explains. “Screening early enables clinicians to better monitor at-risk patients and ensures improved health outcomes for expectant mothers and their unborn babies.” 

She hopes to advance preeclampsia paper-based biosensor technology globally, protecting at-risk patients and providing clinicians with medical devices and innovations needed to improve health outcomes. Through her research, Ngaju aims to improve access to sensitive and specific testing for early-stage preeclampsia in rural communities and limited resource settings. By doing this, her goal is to empower clinicians to make timely care decisions. Becoming a Vanier Scholar has validated Ngaju’s efforts and commitment to her research, and she felt elated and humbled after learning she won this prestigious scholarship. 

“This scholarship has had a significant impact on my life, pursuing a PhD was at some point almost unattainable, but I have been fortunate to have mentors who believed in me, guided and encouraged me over the years. This scholarship and the opportunity to pursue my PhD at UCalgary has been a culmination of several years of sacrifice and perseverance — I’m truly appreciative.” Ngaju continues to be passionate about her research and remains committed to looking at solving problems that impact vulnerable populations, such as mothers and their children, and is grateful for the support of the scholarship as it has allowed her to focus on her research.

Prince Chiagozie Ekoh

Prince Chiagozie Ekoh, a third-year PhD student in the Faculty of Social Work, chose UCalgary beyond its academic ranking, but because the Faculty of Social Work focuses on critical perspectives within research and education. “I appreciate the invaluable mentorship provided by my award-winning supervisor, Dr. Christine Walsh. Together, she and the university create an environment that empowers me to excel,” explains Ekoh.  Through his research of utilizing visuals methods, Ekoh investigates the social network and support experiences of older African refugees living in Calgary. “By focusing on their stories, we gain insight into the unique challenges faced by older adults who have lost their support systems and must navigate the complexities of aging and refugeeism in a foreign environment with unfamiliar systems, cultures and languages,” says Ekoh. By focusing on the unique lived experiences of older adult refugees, Ekoh aims to develop effective interventions and initiatives to enhance the assistance available to older refugees in Canada.  When Ekoh learned he had won the Vanier Scholarship, he felt humbled and grateful for the recognition. “Receiving this scholarship has provided me with renewed vigour to continue my work as a diligent researcher, instructor and community leader,” says Ekoh. 

Navigating through his PhD continues to be both a challenging and rewarding experience. While Ekoh learned to cope with overwhelming emotions being away from his support system in Nigeria, he remains highly motivated to continue impactful research and plans to continue his work with marginalized groups by mentoring new social workers to build efforts in improving the world through practice, research and advocacy.

Supports for students and colleagues

Share this article

Good morning. This has been a difficult week, with the removal of an encampment from the University of Calgary on Thursday evening. It remains an emotional and intense period for our campus community as we work to balance freedom of speech and public safety for everyone. 

Many of you have reached out requesting guidance in supporting students and colleagues. I wanted to share some of the ways we can help one another at this time. 

Mental health and well-being

Members of the campus community may approach you with concerns or express that they are struggling right now. The most important thing is to acknowledge their feelings and ensure they know there are supports available. Guidance on how to identify if someone is in distress, and what to do to help them, can be found on the  Campus Mental Health Strategy website . 

Counselling services are available to all employees through the  Employee Family Assistance Program .  And for students, counselling and other important services and programs can be found on the Student Wellness Services site  found here . Of note, if a student needs immediate assistance, please direct them to contact the  Distress Centre for access to 24/7 support. Student advisors and support teams are also on hand to meet with students, to connect them to services and to identify any emerging needs. Please refer students to the  Student Success Centre or email the team at  [email protected] .

Teaching and learning 

What happens locally and globally impacts our teaching, learning and research. Accessing resources created by the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning can be useful as you navigate the coming weeks: 

• When considering what to do when  controversial issues arise in the classroom ; 
• When  teaching in times of uncertainty and potential disruption; and 
• Guides for  supporting well-being in the classroom . 

The  Strategies for Promoting Positive Learning Environments includes guidance on how to address disruptive and harmful behaviours. This includes planning ahead to prevent and de-escalate situations. It also makes clear that, if challenging circumstances arise that substantially disrupt the learning environment, or pose health and safety concerns, you may request assistance from Campus Security. The  Resource Guide for Teaching Academic Courses at UCalgary suggests developing a safety plan, including reviewing safety procedures and  resources and connecting with the Student at Risk Team for support, if needed.

Freedom of speech

Free speech, including uncomfortable conversations, is an important part of who we are as a university. Universities must always be a place to question ideas and to have challenging conversations. Peaceful protests can continue to take place at the University of Calgary.  In addition to free speech, we also need to ensure our campus is a safe place for all. Creating encampments or barricades is not allowed on campus because of the potential safety risks for everyone. 

The University of Calgary’s  Statement on Free Expression provides a guide for us. 

I know that what feels safe can look different to each of us. We will need to hold space for each other as we talk through individual lived experiences and understand how we can create a place for respectful dialogue during these challenging times. 

As we all reflect on this past week, I want to thank you for all you do to support our campus community and, most importantly, each other. Continue to work towards understanding each other and differing viewpoints. Continue to have difficult conversations in a respectful and thoughtful manner.

Partnership strengthens mental health supports in Alberta schools

Werklund School of Education Staff

In response to mounting mental health challenges among youth, the University of Calgary, in collaboration with the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) and Converge Mental Health Coalition , has launched a project to enhance mental health support within educational settings.

As part of the City of Calgary’s Change Can’t Wait initiative, two centres at UCalgary, the  Centre for Wellbeing in Education and the  Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research and Education , are conducting a comprehensive review of research focusing on the crucial skills, knowledge, and competencies student services staff require to nurture adolescent mental health.

"The emergence of mental health challenges among our youth highlights the urgent need for reinforced systems within our schools," says Dr. Jennifer Turner, EdD , Werklund School of Education Centre for Wellbeing director. "Our collaboration with CBE and Converge Mental Health aims to equip student services teams with the necessary tools and training to respond effectively to these challenges." 

Dr. Paul Arnold, MD, PhD , director of the Cumming School of Education’s Mathison Centre, adds, "Our collaborative research with the CBE will lead to evidence-based programs for students at early stages of developing mental health concerns. With depression, ADHD, behaviour problems, and anxiety common among youth, our targeted interventions, alongside existing strategies like the Go to Educator program, will elevate our support for student mental health." 

The initiative is developing a research-based universal framework for student support, informed by the findings of the environmental scan. This framework will serve as the basis for a professional learning series for student services staff within the CBE. The sessions will help provide more consistent guidance and resources at various levels, ensuring CBE can offer standardized and comprehensive care for student well-being.

Joanne Pitman, chief superintendent of schools at the Calgary Board of Education, is eager to introduce the framework and professional learning series in schools across the city, emphasizing the board's commitment to student well-being.

"This collaboration presents an exciting opportunity to enhance CBE’s ongoing efforts in supporting the positive mental health and well-being of students. Student well-being is a key priority for our board, and we look forward to piloting the framework and professional learning series in CBE schools.” 

Gena Rotstein, managing director at Converge Mental Health Coalition agrees. "Collaboration is key to addressing the mental health needs of today's youth. By pooling our collective expertise and resources, we can devise innovative solutions to bolster student well-being and create a more inclusive and nurturing education environment." 

The professional learning series is a significant step forward in supporting the mental health needs of today's youth and will be piloted at the school level in summer 2024.
