Curriculum
This is an online program that has been designed for adult learners and working professionals who are in the workforce while they are enrolled in this program, with the exception of one on-campus course during the program. This 49 credit-hour program is projected to be completed in 32 months; however, due to the nature of independent research, more time may be needed.
The program starts in the fall. Students take two years of graduate-level didactic and research development courses and must pass a comprehensive qualifying exam at the end of their third semester to advance to candidacy. The final year of the program focuses on dissertation research. During the final semester, the students will prepare and defend their dissertation projects. Six students are accepted each year to this three-year online program.
