The Curriculum
Students develop mastery of research by moving from principles to processes to practices.
Program Completion Time and Cost
The program is designed to be completed in three years. However, the program may take longer than three years to complete if there is a delay in completing your dissertation.
The cost of the three-year program is $146,070. This includes tuition, meals and receptions during the on-campus immersions, and statistical software and books. Students are responsible for travel and lodging costs associated with immersions.
The Applied Research Practicum Series
The Applied Research Practicum Series prepares students for their independent dissertation. It also helps them generate original research for presentation or publication at the end of their second year.
