Academic Degrees Available at a Distance
We have numerous doctorate degrees that can be completed at a distance, anytime, anywhere. These include Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.), Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA), and even Doctor of Sports Management (DSM) degrees. Let us know what subject you are interested in pursuing and we'll engage Degree Quest to find the right degrees for you to consider.
Keep in mind, although most people think that you must follow the same pathway in pursuit of a doctorate degree as the pathway that you took with your Master's, that is not always true. We have had students who were able to take a different pathway, such as going from a Master's in Business to a Ph.D. in Computer Science. Of course, the prerequisite courses for the higher level program of study must still be met. Let us know the direction you want to go and we'll see what we can do to get you there.
Brief Physical Residencies
Minimal Time On Campus
Although many of our doctorate degree programs at a distance require absolutely no time on campus, some of the programs of study do have brief residencies on campus. These are usually a week or so on campus and give you the opportunity to meet the professors and your fellow students, while completing an accelerated course on site. These are typically scheduled during the Summer to make it easy for students to take time off work to attend the residency.
The feedback we've gotten from students who attended these mini-residencies has been positive. They really enjoyed putting faces to the names of their classmates with whom they had been interacting over the web in working through the class assignments.
