Part Time Ph.D. Programs

A Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree program provides students with advanced research opportunities in their field of study and the credentials to teach at a university level. For prospective Ph.D. students that can only devote a limited amount of time to their studies, there are several programs that offer an option to complete the programs on a part-time schedule. Most part-time programs only require two classes per semester.
