Haslam College of Business - Marketing PhD Financial Aid

Doctoral study in marketing at Tennessee is fully funded. Every applicant admitted to the program receives an assistantship package, so students can focus on research rather than on paying for the degree.

Research assistantships are designed as a developmental component of the PhD program, providing students with exposure to different research streams, faculty perspectives, and approaches to conducting research. These experiences are intended to help students identify and refine their research interests and develop their own research trajectory.

Teaching assignments are supported by BUAD 610, the teaching seminar all doctoral students complete in the summer of their first year.
