Doctoral Program

Doctoral students enroll in eighteen courses, spanning a three year period. Each course has an eight-week duration, and students enroll in one course each eight-week session, totaling six courses in each year.  Courses are offered on designated Thursday evenings or designated Saturdays throughout a semester to accommodate people balancing a variety of demands in their personal and professional lives. The first two years of study include a blend of academic theory and practical research. The third year concludes classroom studies, marked by a comprehensive exam, and enrollment in dissertation courses completes the curriculum.
