Each semester there is a MO 899 theory seminar for the students to take. All MO 899 courses are required. Each course is taught every other year (one per academic term):

• Macro Organizational Theory (Instructor: Maxim Sytch; 3CR, Winter 2022-)
• Micro Organizational Behavior (Instructor: Lindy Greer; 3CR, Winter 2023-)
• Rotating course based on faculty and student interests (consisted of 1.5CR courses)
  • Computational Methods in Management (Instructor: Scott Page; 1.5CR, Winter A 2023-)
  • Rhythms of Academic Life (Instructor: Dave Mayer; 1.5CR, Winter A 2024-)
  • Finding and Formulating Research Questions (Instructor: Julia Lee Cunningham; 1.5CR, Winter B 2025-)
  • Developing Research Strategies (Instructor: Julia Lee Cunningham; 1.5CR, Winter B 2026-)

At some point in your coursework, you might also take two Ross School of Business research methods courses (optional):

• Empirical Research Methods (BA 850, 1.5CR)
• General Linear Models (BA 860, 1.5CR)

In fall of your third year, you will take the teaching methods course with Brian Jones and Tammy Feldman (BA 830).

Breadth requirements for students who do not have an MBA (note, need to have all of these complete plus prelims by September of your third year to become a candidate and receive the extra $1000 in travel money). Here is a suggested plan for the breadth courses:

• Waive Accounting
• Take Finance 501 in one week in Executive Education
• Take Applied Microeconomics (BE 860) and marketing (MKT 501 in Spring semester) as evening/weekend MBA courses
• We typically recommend you take BA 840 (ICOS) for one credit hour, which means you read all the papers and attend each session. Seminars are held on Friday’s from 1:30-3:00PM.
