The Doctoral Experience

All School of Advanced Studies Programs

• Group discussions: In online doctoral group discussions, your doctoral faculty member posts in-depth, thought-provoking questions that require you and your fellow students to interact and provide real insights based on research that centers on current industry challenges.
• Dissertation: As part of your doctoral program, you will be required to complete original research in your area of study. To complete your dissertation, we help to match you with a Dissertation Chair in your field of study who will guide you through the integrated dissertation model. This model allows you to begin working on your dissertation in your first year, then investigate, research and write your dissertation throughout the rest of your degree program.
• Residencies: Doctoral residencies provide you with opportunities to network and study with professionals in your field, and learn a variety of content topics in a face-to-face environment and get detailed guidance as you prepare to write your dissertation. Your residency is also tailored to where you are in your doctoral program and in which doctoral program you are enrolled. Once you begin your residency, you will have an opportunity to practice your group research and presentation skills.
• Research Centers: Throughout your program, you will have the opportunity to engage in our Research Centers – scholarly communities of faculty, students, and graduates in your field who share research interests. These communities help students and faculty learn about the latest research efforts, identify important research topics in the field, and build research relationships. With multiple Research Centers focused on Education, Health, and Business/Management, we think you will be excited by the research happening at the School of Advanced Studies.
