大家好，首先自我介绍一下，我是Peng，中国人，2022年秋季入学University of Louisville 商学院的PHD项目，目前博士二年级。可能我以及之前的中国学生给教授们的映像还不错，所以博士项目主任 Daniel （博士，associate professor with tenure）让我也在华人社群广而告之。我到这里发帖，回馈曾经在这里得到的帮助。


然后，我post 招生简介
Call for Applications: Entrepreneurship PhD
The College of Business at the University of Louisville (UofL) invites applications for its Ph.D. Program in Entrepreneurship, distinguished as the nation’s longest-running entrepreneurship doctoral program and consistently ranked among the top graduate entrepreneurship programs by the Princeton Review.

最后，我谈一下我自己的感受
优势：
1. Lousiville 这个城市不大不小，生活还可以，治安比起大城市好不少。
2. 学校University of louisville 是公立大学，不关心排名，不搞排名公关。但是是公认的美国R1（第一等研究型大学）
3. 商学院专业齐备，经济，金融，财务，信管，创业学等等。给我们上课的老师，除了本专业的老师，还有其他系的老师，你也可以和其他系老师合作。
4. 这个项目叫创业学博士（entrepreneurship），不是教你怎么创业，是真正做创业学的研究，Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship.
5. 研究范围广，创业学范畴内的比如家族企业，社会创业，创业融资，公司创业，创业环境你可以做，创业学和战略、组织行为、人力资源交叉的领域你也可以做
6. 博士点有全职教授六位，每两年招一届博士生，一届5人左右，也就是平均下来导师资源丰富，而且像刚才说的，你可以和其他系教授合作。
7. 导师强，都能发管理学领域top journal 的那种。
8. 导师们很愿意帮助学生成功。比如我去年写了一篇term paper，导师给我指导，修改，润色，得益于他们的帮助，发表在了family business 领域知名期刊上。然后我现在又在和导师们合作entrepreneurship environment (institution) 方面的文章。
9. 出路不错，这个项目十几年了，毕业生基本上都能找到北美教职。
10. 钱够花。学费医保什么你不用掏钱，然后每年给你3.1万美金生活费，在Louisville正常生活足够。
最后强调，不是party school，你需要真的喜欢做管理学研究，看paper，写paper，讨论paper。导师、系里、院里非常希望你。帮助你成长为scholar。
