A online forum where people preparing for phds in business or who are already in phd programs share knowledge, advice, concerns, and ideas on how to succeed.

One should definitely look at grad skool rulz posts at orgtheory.net
Although they are more sociology oriented, most of the people who write there are in biz-schools.

for some weird reason I cannot post links. so go to orgtheory.net and then look at the right for the "grad skool rulz" link.

Yeah unfortunately you have to have 30 posts before you can post links to the forum. I have the accounting PhD survey one if anyone wants it you can send me a PM. It provides information about all of the Accounting PhD Programs such as placement of past grads and what they look for in potential candidates.

Great survey for those of us potential accounting candidates.

Here's the link:
Accounting PhD Program A-C

I've also found BYU's PhD Prep wiki to be a useful resource for those considering accounting:

A lot of it has nothing to do with their particular program and just provides useful information for all PhD candidates.

A useful link listing a large number of the finance phd programs in the nation.

DocNet Consortium of Business Doctoral Programs

This website is sort of a news source to announce events, chat sessions, and information fairs that are being held.

Search Only for AACSB Accredited Business Schools

Chalk one up to the AACB. I like some of the things you can do on this website. It does a good job of list

I would suggest DocSIG for marketing (DocSIG), but the page has apparently been taken down. Anyone know what's up with that? It was a GREAT resource!

The list of Phd programs at Marketing power website is quite exhaustive and considering the widely accepted view that there can be no ranking of programs, the list provides a good starting point to a phd aspirant to zero in on a suitable program.

I am posting the the route map for the link as I'm not not allowed to post links in the forum.
