DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT (PHD-TM)

File name: phd-tm.pdf.

Doctor in Information Technology

• College of Computer Studies
• Graduate Degree Programs

The Doctor in Information Technology (DIT) program is a three-pronged postgraduate course designed to equip candidates with knowledge and skills needed to become agents for societal and organizational change through the planning, management, and implementation of IT in ways that are theoretically grounded, relevant, innovative, critical, and ethical.

The course seeks to bridge professional relevance (practice) with conceptual grounding (theory) and aims at developing a breed of professionals who can seamlessly link three domains: social and organizational knowledge, technical expertise, and ethics. A key assumption of the course is that changes in society are most effectively achieved by working through reshaping its most significant institutions. In this course, emphasis is placed on equipping students to understand, plan, and manage IT interventions in business, academic, and government settings.

In the course of taking the program, students will depart from popular and oversimplified models that view the IT processes as linear, predicable, revolutionary, utopian, and deterministic. They will increasingly understand that technology is complex, socially shaped, value-laden, and capable of being harnessed for diverse goals, which in turn are not equally desirable in terms of their normative implications. At the end of the program, successful candidates can then become change agents in different capacities: as policy makers, chief information officers, high-level lecturers or researchers, heads of organizations, or officers in charge of large departments.

Admission Requirements

Degree requirements, academic program components.

The program accepts applicants who have a relevant Master’s degree and two years of relevant work experience. Master’s degrees from the following fields are considered ideal (others may be considered on a case-to-case basis):

• MSIT/MSCS/MCS/MIT
• MBA/Master in Public Administration/Master in Education
• Master of Science in Engineering, Math, Science, or Statistics
• All applicants must have middle-level management, teaching, or research experience.
• For those with non-CS or non-IT master degrees, applicants must have some background in IT specifically in information systems development and information systems planning.
• Since the program will be administered in English, students are expected to demonstrate a strong grasp of the language. Applicants may be required to submit their TOEFL results.

The DIT degree is obtained primarily through supervised research. It is awarded upon fulfillment of the following requirements:

• completion of all academic courses
• pass the oral comprehensive examination
• submission of a doctoral dissertation based on an independent, original research
• successful defense of the doctoral dissertation

Technology Management is an academic discipline focused on understanding technology and technology’s effects on society, including how technology is shaping organizations and work, the process of technological change, technology entrepreneurship, and technology-enabled innovation.

The Ph.D. program in Technology Management provides students interested in technology and its role in society with a vibrant interdisciplinary environment where they have the opportunity to work with leading scholars in organizational behavior, organization theory, technology management, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Applicants will be expected to follow their interests and develop their own research program under the guidance of faculty.

We seek excellent students who aspire to become exceptional scholars and go on to research and teach at top universities across the country and around the world. You would fit our program well if you are interested in technology, regardless of whether you have a background in the social sciences, physical sciences, management, or engineering.

The program is designed to prepare students for an academic career as tenure-track professors. Graduates go on to research and teach at top universities across the country and around the world. 

All applications must be received by January 15, 2025, at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.

All applications require a non-refundable application fee. If you are a US citizen or Permanent Resident, the application fee is $135; for all others, the application fee is $155. No application will be processed until the application fee has been received. This fee can be paid by credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or with a check/money order using the Check/Money Order Submission Form found on the last page of the application.

• Student profile
• Current Students
• Job Placement

We seek students who want to become exceptional scholars and who will go on to research and teach at top universities across the country and around the world. You would fit our program well if you are interested in technology-related work regardless of whether you have a background in the social sciences, physical sciences, management or engineering.

Our program integrates organizational studies with technology and innovation studies in an interdisciplinary environment that transcends the distinctions between disciplines. If you come from a technology or scientific background we will teach you about the importance of organizations and social systems. If you have a social science or management background you will learn to understand the role of technology and innovation in shaping organizational action.

The job market for interdisciplinary Ph.Ds. with training in technology and organizations is expected to be strong over the next decade. We anticipate that most graduates will pursue academic positions in Schools of Communication (where the study of organization and technology is increasing swiftly), in Schools of Information (which are being rapidly founded across the country), in Schools of Engineering (that are increasingly interested in the social aspects of technical work), and in Business Schools (where the study of technology innovation and entrepreneurship is growing). Unlike the demand for Ph.D. tenure track faculty in many other disciplines, the number of tenure track openings in these schools exceeds the number of Ph.Ds. awarded each year, and that gap is increasing.

UCSB is world renowned for its interdisciplinary culture. Faculty and students are encouraged to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries and to pioneer exciting new interdisciplinary fields and programs. The Technology Management Program is just such a program. Our faculty is world renowned for its commitment to interdisciplinarity. The faculty have backgrounds that range from engineering and management to the social sciences. We encourage our students to explore courses and to make links to faculty in the social sciences, environmental science, and other engineering departments. The Technology Management Program is housed in the College of Engineering ranked as the number one in the world among public universities for engineering research. The National Research Council ranks all the College of Engineering’s research programs among the top five for their disciplines.

PHILIPPINE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY

Doctor of Philosophy Programs

The PhD can take on something of a mythic status. Are they only for geniuses? Do you have to discover something incredible? Does the qualification make you an academic? And are higher research degrees just for people who want to be academics?

PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy. This is the highest level academic degrees that can be awarded. PhD is an abbreviation of the Latin term (Ph)ilosophiae (D)octor. Traditionally the term ‘philosophy’ does not refer to the subject but its original Greek meaning which roughly translates to ‘lover of wisdom’.

A typical PhD involves:

• Carrying out a literature review (a survey of current scholarship in your field).
• Conducting original research and collecting your results.
• Producing a thesis that presents your conclusions.
• Writing up your thesis and submitting it as a dissertation. Defending your thesis in an oral viva voce exam.

Your PhD can take you much further afield though. You may find yourself visiting archives or facilities to examine their data or look at rare source materials. You could even have the opportunity to spend an extended period ‘in residence’ at a research center or other institutions beyond your university.

Working with your supervisor .  All PhD projects are completed with the guidance of at least one academic supervisor. They will be your main point of contact and support throughout the PhD.

Your supervisor will be an expert in your general area of research, but they won’t have researched on your exact topic before (if they had, your project wouldn’t be original enough for a PhD).

As a PhD student you are now an independent and original scholar, pushing the boundaries of your field beyond what is currently known (and taught) about it. You are doing all of these for the first time;

The modern PhD is also viewed as a more flexible qualification. Not all doctorate graduates end up working in higher education. Many follow alternative careers that are either related to their subject of specialism or draw upon the advanced research skills their PhD has developed.

PhD programs have begun to reflect on this. Many now emphasize transferrable skills or include specific training units designed to help students communicate and apply their research beyond the university.

What all of this means is that very few PhD experiences are just about researching and writing up a thesis.

Doing this is very worthwhile, whatever your career plans. You will develop transferrable skills in public speaking and presenting, gain feedback on your results and begin to be recognized as an expert in your area. Conferences are also great places to network with other students and academics.

Publication .  As well as presenting your research, you may also have the opportunity to publish work in academic journals, books, or other media.

This can be a challenging process. Your work will be judged according to the same high standards as any other scholar’s and will normally go through extensive peer review processes.

But it is also highly rewarding. Seeing your work ‘in print’ is an incredible validation of your PhD research and a definite boost to your academic CV.

Public engagement and communication .  Academic work may be associated with the myth of the ‘ivory tower’ – an insular community of experts focusing on obscure topics of little interest outside the university. But this is far from the case.

Thankfully, there are plenty of opportunities to try your hand at public engagement as a PhD student. Universities are often involved in local events and initiatives to communicate the benefits of their research, ranging from workshops in local or international forums to public lectures and presentations.

Our PhD programs include structured training in order to help you with activities such as the above.

Your supervisor may also be able to help by identifying suitable conferences and public engagement opportunities, or by involving you in appropriate university events and public engagement initiatives.

In a nutshell, a doctorate degree:

Provides you with comprehensive research principles and methodologies.

Offers both theoretical and practical principles.

Advances your discipline knowledge.

Increases your specialized and/or cross-discipline skills.

Aligns your professional interests and goals.

Curriculum Strategic Drivers

There are a number of strategic drivers that impact on the curriculum long term implications.

Strategic Driver 1 : Labor Market Conditions

The recent pandemic created significant disruptions within the labor market notably in management in retail, manufacturing tourism among others. Our programs cut across all disciplines which make them flexible and dynamic.

Strategic Driver 2 : The 4th Industrial Revolution

We are actually competing against ourselves one just one goal:  keeping on everyday in all aspects of academic standards:  faculty, students, curriculum, technology, global standards.

Strategic Driver 4 : National and Regional Policy

The Autonomy Status and Accreditation dictate constant review our programs focus. Parallel  to this is our national policy and regional policies. Since we have quite a number of graduates in high level positions in government and private enterprises, our curricula are attuned to policies on business, education and governance.

Strategic Driver 5:   Global Presence

Our programs are recognized worldwide specifically in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and some parts of the US. The excellent reviews of our faculty and program we receive from our international students is a major driver to continuously keep on improving to keep better.

Strategic Driver 6:   Consultancy

Our programs will continue to heightened the consultancy competency levels of our students who are mostly occupying high level positions through their practicum and on-site training programs. We will continue to strengthen our linkages with multinational firms and the government.

Strategic Driver 7:   Data Analytics

We are committed to move digital skills of our students to high competency levels specifically on data analytics. High end presentations, like simulations, projections and up-to-date use of big data usually will bring about high probabilities of proposed project acceptance.

PhD in Public Health Nursing Concentration Effective School Year 2021-2022

Philosophical Perspective in Health

Public health services are part of the social fabric of nations. The values and beliefs of public health professional workers are as important as their scientific education and technical skills. Public health professionals should be able to make ethical decisions, and should have moral and philosophical insights that inform and justify their decisions and actions.

This course presents some philosophical and moral perspectives and considers some ethical issues and problems that can arise in the course of decision making in public health with Illustrations using examples of situations where values and beliefs can complicate decision making.

Principles of Epidemiology in Public Health

In this introductory course, students will learn and apply basic concepts of epidemiology to multiple domains of public health. We will illustrate and practice using epidemiology to better understand, characterize, and promote health at a population level. The class will engage the students in active and collaborative learning through team activities, individual projects, case studies, group discussion, and individual projects.

Scientific Perspective in Nursing

This course socializes beginning PhD students to the role of Nurse Scholar and Scientist. Students will explore the state of the science in a phenomenon of interest and to conceptualize gaps in scientific knowledge specific to their research topic.

Intellectual enrichment activities will be underscored to facilitate:

• identification and critical evaluation of gaps in existing knowledge in a specific scientific domain;
• systematic exploration, critique, and synthesis of existing scientific literature;
• participation in scholarly dialog and constructive evaluation of a scientific body of knowledge.

Published theoretical and empirical literature will be examined to facilitate the development of the student’s unique ideas regarding how to fill existing gaps in current knowledge for their specific scientific area.

Transforming Nursing and Healthcare Through Technology

Nursing informatics is essential to the provision of effective and efficient care. This course examines nursing informatics as a nursing competency and a nursing specialty. Students examine the role of the nurse informaticist in current practices related to the collection, access, and use of health information and knowledge, as well as the implementation of clinical systems. Through this course, students gain an understanding of how informatics is used to improve advanced nursing practice and healthcare outcomes across organizations, public health, and consumer health settings.

Information technologies.

In this course, students examine the critical appraisal and use of information technology in advanced nursing practice. Students work to gain the skills and knowledge needed to research, develop, process, integrate, and manage data, communication and information systems, and programs through technology resources in consumer, clinical, and public health settings. Students engage in a variety of discussions and assignments designed to provide practical application of content on topics including retrieval and critical analysis of digital data and emerging technology to support healthcare quality improvement; electronic health records integration and evaluation; and web-based learning and intervention tools to support and improve patient care. They also explore ethical, regulatory, and legal issues as well as the healthcare standards and principles for selecting and evaluating information systems and patient care technology that effects positive social change.

When used effectively, information technology can support generation of new knowledge and emerging information technologies. In this course, students examine the critical appraisal and use of information technology in advanced nursing practice. Students work to gain the skills and knowledge needed to research, develop, process, integrate, and manage data, communication and information systems, and programs through technology resources in consumer, clinical, and public health settings. Students engage in a variety of discussions and assignments designed to provide practical application of content on topics including retrieval and critical analysis of digital data and emerging technology to support healthcare quality improvement; electronic health records integration and evaluation; and web-based learning and intervention tools to support and improve patient care

Advanced Theoretical and Scientific Perspectives in Nursing

This course focuses on the philosophical and theoretical bases underlying concepts and operations inherent to nursing. Synthesis of theories from behavioral, natural, social, and applied sciences is emphasized as it relates to nursing and practice. There is an investigation of the intersections between system science and organizational science. Nursing, ethical, and scientific theories are used in the analysis of clinical problems, illness prevention, and health promotion.

Global Health Care Professional: Theory and Practice

This course outlines and examines global health issues, using both theories and practices to analyse the new challenges, actors and governance of health. Key stakeholders in global health and their roles, including the World Health Organization, World Bank, the World Trade Organization, philanthropic and private actors, and public/private partnerships are identified and discussed. Major global health policy and development initiatives – in particular, the Sustainable Development Goals – and the translation of these goals and policies into practice are outlined and critically examined.

Transcultural Nursing Practice and Research

This course will provide a transcultural nursing experience through pre and post-immersion classroom instruction and an immersion field experience. Prior to the immersion field experience, students will study PCU history, economics, governance structures, political, environmental influences, cultural beliefs, and practices and their impact on health.

During the immersion field experience, students will focus on both the epidemiology of non-communicable diseases and the impact of health disparities and limited resources on human health and well-being. Students will work at PCU Hospital and Clinics delivering care to adult patients.

Health Disparities of Underserved Populations Research

This course examines theories of health care disparities and the impact on health care. A variety of theoretical models will be examined for their value in understanding health behavior change. Their relevance for changing particular behaviors in various ethnic populations will be challenged. New theories related to diversity of racial and ethnic communities and selected nursing theories that attempt to understand the inequities in healthcare practice and health status will be explored

The Evolving Roles of the Nurse in Education, Practice and Research

The course focus on the evolving role of professional nurses that is intertwined with technology. Even though technology is integral to nursing, nurses provide the human touch and are still at the forefront of patient care. No matter what type of healthcare setting they work in, they have the most interaction with patients. Nurses assess and monitor patients and relay information to other care providers. With the advent and spread of mobile technology and telemedicine, nurses are no longer confined to practicing in physical buildings. They are able to assist patients in their communities and homes, in person or with the use of mobile technology.

Research Theory, Design, and Methods

In this research course, students are provided with core knowledge and skills for understanding, analyzing, and designing research at the graduate level. Students explore the philosophy of science, the role of theory, and research processes. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research designs and data collection methods are introduced. The alignment of research components is emphasized. Students also explore ethical and social change implications of designing and conducting research. Students demonstrate their knowledge and skills by developing an annotated bibliography.

Students in this course focus on the sufficient formal and informal learning experiences to build scientific depth in an identified area of study. Students gain the competencies to critique, utilize, and integrate different theoretical and scientific perspectives for the conduct of research, including team science, to generate new ideas based on a critical evaluation of existing knowledge. Attention is given to integration of the components of scholarship, research, teaching, mentoring, and service to the profession gained from understanding the theoretical/scientific underpinnings of nursing and other disciplines.
