Finding a climate for change in the 2004–2007 timeframe as the Bologna process was implemented and university-wide reforms were underway, the University of St. Gallen (HSG) instituted several revisions to its PhD Program in Management (PMA). For influence, HSG observed some of the doctoral programs delivered at some of its fellow CEMS Alliance schools, and took into strong consideration the post Bologna political discussions at the Swiss and the European levels. Today's format, unique among many other doctoral programs, offers students a standard, part-time track and an expanded, full-time track based on their career aspirations. The PMA is currently the University's largest doctoral program, with six specializations.
