LINKS, the International Center for Research on Social Networks in Business at the University of Kentucky, offers a Ph.D. in business administration with an emphasis on networks applied to the organizational realm. Our research emphasizes examining organizational behavior and strategy from a network perspective, and our faculty and students publish extensively in the major management journals, in collaboration with the top faculty from international business schools. Students are trained to become faculty at major research-intensive business schools worldwide. Network-oriented faculty include Daniel J. Brass (networks and power, ethics, innovation, technology), Giuseppe "Joe" Labianca (networks and conflict, group social capital), Ajay Mehra (networks and individual agency, personality and networks), Seok-Woo Kwon (social capital and public policy), Leslie Vincent (networks and innovation), and Emery Yao (interorganizational networks and knowledge management).

The University of California at Irvine is home to one of the premier research groups in the expanding field of social networks. The Sociology Department at UCI offers coherent graduate training in social networks, with a field specialization in social networks and a core curriculum covering theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, and substantive applications. We also host a regular colloquium series and weekly network research meetings where graduate students and faculty discuss their on-going research projects. Graduate training in the field is supported by faculty in several departments and the Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Sciences.
The Departments of Anthropology and Sociology jointly offer a concentration in Social Networks that focuses on the patterns or forms of relations that link persons or other social actors together in coherent wholes.
