Doctorate Hopefuls: 1 year, 8 months agoBob, does anyone publish a list of business doctoral programs by the number of students enrolled? I’m wondering which schools have the largest doctoral programs. Is there a top 20 list?

I wish. It seems to be an opportunity/vacancy in the market.

Doctorate Hopefuls: 1 year, 8 months agoIf you think the acceptance rates at the top schools are low, you should take a look at these numbers for doctoral programs. Harvard, for example, received 798 applications for its doctoral program in 2009 and admitted just 4% of those who applied–a third of its acceptance rate for full-time MBAs.
