A shortage of qualified business faculty Capella's PhD in Business Management, Management Education specialization offers a deep analysis of both business management theory and adult learning theory, designed to meet the growing demand for qualified business faculty. A recent Wall Street Journal article, "We're Hiring: Many business schools have trouble hiring faculty," described the shortage this way: "While thousands of new [business] schools have opened around the world in recent years, the number of new PhDs in business subjects has held relatively steady, and many schools are now facing a serious shortage of well-qualified faculty."

"Our Management Education specialization offers business professionals the opportunity to advance their knowledge in both business management and adult education," said William Reed, PhD, dean of Capella's School of Business and Technology. "Our comprehensive core curriculum focuses on business research, ethics, a global perspective, technology, and a systems-thinking approach to organizational decision making. Our specialization courses are designed to help future faculty members apply and share that knowledge in a post-secondary classroom setting. Our students also benefit from the opportunity to earn both a PhD and a Post-Master's Certificate in College Teaching at no additional cost."
