Demand For Business PH.D.s Continues Slow Rise, While Doctoral Production Falls
Steadily
Demand for Ph.D.s in business schools rose slightly this year according to results of
the latest AACSB surveys of business doctoral production and faculty demand. The
overall vacancy rate rose to 6.8 percent, compared to 6.6 percent a year ago.
Planned growth in business faculty positions is up by one-half of a percentage point, from
3.1 percent last year to 3.6 percent this year.
The number of business doctoral degrees awarded in 1997-98 is 1,006, down from last
year's 1,072, marking this as the third year of doctoral production decline. The
number of women receiving Ph.D.s fell to 304, down from 319.
New African-American Ph.D.s in business rose to 34, three more than the year before.
Hispanic-American Ph.D.s rose from 11 to 23. Eight Native-Americans earned
business doctoral degrees, compared to two last year. Among non-U.S. or Canadian
citizens, the percentage of total degrees conferred rose to 34.5 percent from last year's
28.1 percent
