Online MBA Degree

Degree Requirements

The PhD degree requirements fall into two categories: Program Requirements and Area of Concentration Requirements. All students complete courses required by the program and thereby develop skills that will enhance their ability to generate leading-edge research and also become an effective teacher.

Area of Concentration Requirements depend upon the student’s chosen field of study. The student selects a major from the 8 Areas of Concentration and completes the courses that the Area requires. Course loads range from nine to twelve half course equivalents (HECs).
