James talks about thinking independently at Olin.

PhD students at the Olin Business School make up a diverse and interesting group. They come from many different parts of the world with widely different backgrounds. Some have enrolled directly from undergraduate programs; others hold advanced degrees or have worked for several years. Some are new to business, coming from academic majors ranging from engineering to biology.

This diversity enhances the learning experience for all. As an Olin PhD student, you will share ideas and form friendships with a rich mix of students.
