      Online PhD Programs in Entrepreneurship

      PhD is the abbreviation of the Latin phrase philosophiae doctor, meaning doctor of philosophy. In most cases, it represents the highest degree offered in a field. Students are generally only eligible after completing both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. PhD programs vary in length, but most take between three and 10 years to complete.

      What is a PhD in Entrepreneurship? An entrepreneur is someone who develops, organizes, and manages a business. While this often applies to small businesses, entrepreneurs with successful track records and financial backing can also found larger companies. Successful entrepreneurship requires identification of a lucrative potential market, an innovative method to approaching said market, and effectively overcoming changes to the business and market. Many institutions instruct in the use of marketing research software and human resource management.

      An entrepreneurship program first and foremost teaches the communication skills that can benefit students in their careers and in their personal life interactions. Other versatile skills include innovation and adaptivity.

      Many prospective students worry about the cost of an advanced degree. Due to differences in course length, university fees, and national policies, it is difficult to provide a specific price for a PhD in Entrepreneurship. Depending on the program, scholarships or stipends may be available in exchange for work as a teaching assistant.

      After graduating with a PhD in Entrepreneurship, many people are interested in creating companies through senior management positions such as CEOs and CFOs. The innovative skills that the students have developed may also benefit them as business consultants assisting prospective startups. An unconventional use of the degree might include becoming the executive director of a nonprofit organization. Nonprofits need directors who can identify potential issues and create unique solutions.
