Doctor of Philosophy (PHD) Degrees

Only holders of Bachelor or Master Degrees are admitted. 

We may accept some credits issued by other institutions (that are considered as legitimate by us).

Upon completion, student writes dissertation. Dissertation can be prepared at any time, but not later than 1 year after completion required credits course and will be counted as an additional 30 credits (with 60 credits per year evaluation system), or as 15 credits (with 30 credits per year evaluation system).

Please NOTE that dissertation credits are not reducing total number of credits required, but are creating additional credits and cost equal to half year educational cost.

For example, student has master's degree and entered into Ph.D. program. With master's degree student can finish program in one year as a form of studies (one year of educational cost). After completion of studies student writes dissertation thesis, that is equal to additional half year in credits and accordingly, half year in costs. Each dissertation must be evaluated, processed, archived for records keeping.

Student can receive regular Doctoral Degree first, and later apply for Doctor of Philosophy Program (there is no additional admission fees, if you received Doctoral Degree from the Holy State University). In this case, student will need only to prepare dissertation thesis (approximately 180-250 pages) and to pay applicable fees only for processing of dissertation (prorated to the number of credits).
