I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Business Administration (with a Marketing focus) at Kennesaw State University and have almost wrapped my first year! This program is no joke; it’s super competitive, accepting only four applicants per year for each concentration. What’s even cooler is that it's not just AACSB-accredited but also STEM-designated, which is a rare combo for a business PhD.

The application was pretty intense—a 15-page research interest paper that I had to pull off in just a month. The program itself is full-time, but designed smartly with intense residencies that let you keep your day job while you study. Ten residencies a year for the first two years (Friday-Sunday), with the whole PhD possibly wrapping up in three years.

I’m really excited about diving into this and can't wait to share all the new things I learn along the way. If you're curious about my area of research interest, hit the download button to check out my research application paper!
