Accelerated PHD Program

Fastest way to receive Doctor of Philosophy Degree

"Accelerated PHD Program" designed for holders of Master's Degree (if you do not have Master's Degree, you can complete Master's degree in our place). Program requires minimum supervision or advisement.

Program can be based on different approaches:

Program includes selected study courses (related to the subject of Dissertation project) and independent preparation of Dissertation for the award of PhD degree (we will guide you through the process). At least 12 study/research courses are required.

We can prepare educational plan (list of study/research subjects) for student (only after the admission), or student may suggest own study/research plan. We are not preparing any plans for Dissertations (PhD Thesis). Dissertation is independent project of each student.

Acceptable approaches:

Option 1

Student completes recommended courses and prepares Dissertation (PhD Thesis) as a final step.

Option 2

Student prepares Dissertation (PhD Thesis) as a first step and submits it for evaluation. At the time of Dissertation examination, we would identify areas of student's studies/research. After that, we will recommend additional related courses.

Option 3

PhD degree can be also awarded on the basis of published research work (contact us for more details).

Academic Transcript Contents

All study/research subjects (study/research areas) will be reflected in the Transcript.    

General information about Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a doctoral degree that places more attention to the research and development of a new knowledge and other theoretical applications. This program only can be completed with preparation of Dissertation / PhD Thesis, or some other research work (for example in the form of completed book or other published or unpublished research materials).

PLEASE NOTE that we have NO requirements for any research work to be published.

In the United States, most PhD programs are based on combination of the study courses and preparation of Dissertation. In many European countries, some PhD programs can be completed based on successful preparation of Dissertation that is accepted by the examining Committee. We can offer both approaches.

Each student successfully graduating from the program will receive Diploma and Transcript

Upon successful program completion, graduating student will receive Diploma, Transcript and Graduation Letters. Dissertation title will be listed in the Transcript. We also are listing in the Transcript all additional research and study subjects (including subjects identified by our examiners at the time of Dissertation evaluation).

PhD Degree can be awarded on the basis of selected study courses (related to the subject of Dissertation project) and independent preparation of Dissertation

Student performs independent studies and (or) independent research (under our guidance). As a conclusion of independent studies/research, student prepares Dissertation that is submitted to us for the evaluation (we will guide student through the process).

Word "accelerated" never indicated that student would be neglecting studies. Program is very similar to general Ph.D. degree program, the only difference is that student is willing and is ready to complete program in the accelerated manner (to devote more hours and efforts for the studies/research/preparation of Dissertation). 

Quality of student's knowledge will be reflected in the quality of prepared Dissertation. We are admitting many students that already performed required research and studies, some students performed it in independent manner and some performed studies and research in other educational institutions.

Each student has different educational background and different number of accumulated educational credits, therefore, selected approach is different for each student. We will be taking into consideration any professional training that student received during his/her work career. Appropriate credits would be applied for credits received in other universities (for any courses completed after graduation from the Master's degree program) and limited number of credits can be issued for verified and documented professional training (job training) in areas related to the designation of PhD program. Dissertation/Thesis will receive appropriate number of credits based on the covered area, quality and other related characteristics.

Assignment of credits is not required, but upon request of student, we will assign credits for any successfully completed educational and research work.  

This program has no laboratory research basis, but if you are affiliated with educational or research institutions offering laboratory facilities, feel free to use it for any form of laboratory research that is a part of your studies and for Dissertation preparation.

Almost 80% of Ph.D. Dissertations are prepared on the basis of "paper research". “Paper research” is the research that is based on the review of books and scientific articles, review of studies and research results achieved in previous scientific investigations (performed by other academicians), compilation of the existing information, analysis, processing of information and shaping everything into your Dissertation.

Doctor of Philosophy is a scholar, researcher and the information processor. Many people are receiving this degree after extensive processing of the existing information in libraries (and not in laboratories).

PhD Degree can be awarded on the basis of Published Research Work (with our guidance and supervision)

We are offering this option for the working professionals. This degree is suitable for professionals that already published materials related to their professional activities and student can submit previously published documents for the PhD degree consideration. If we would reject submitted documents, student always can re-shape research work (with our guidance and supervision) into regular PhD Dissertation format. 

Just to name a few options: submitted materials can be published book(s) or book chapters, articles published in journals or in other media publications (or other published, or unpublished work). We have no requirements for the specific place for publications.

Size of published materials must be approximately the same in number of pages, as required for the Dissertation. If for some reason(s), we cannot accept published work, we will recommend to student other options to complete his/her Dissertation.

We have no artificial delays

Comparing to other places, we have no any artificial delays and process can be relatively fast and straightforward.

Progress Steps

 

All student's work performed in electronic form. Expression "student prepares Dissertation" indicates that student prepares everything in electronic format and sends it to us by email.

 

Process starts with submission of short Letter of Intent and Dissertation Proposal.

 

Each university has its own powers to design any educational programs. PhD program is postgraduate program (oriented on academic work) that can be completed in many different ways.

 

We are not measuring PhD program in number of years, but according to the completion of our requirements (and in some cases, it can be relatively fast). Usually it is Dissertation project and some related courses. If Dissertation approved and accepted, and other courses completed, degree would be granted.

 

Upon admission, we will evaluate all educational credentials and all forms of training. Any documented professional training/classes/courses that student completed after Master’s degree program, may create some additional credits that (at our discretion) can be reflected in the academic Transcript.   

 

We are not making any lists of the required courses because courses must be directly interconnected with the subject of Dissertation. In other words, study/research courses will be creating basis for the Dissertation. Any courses and research projects are the “building blocks” of the Dissertation. All courses/research subjects would be reflected in the academic Transcript.

 

We also can use reverse approach for people that already prepared Dissertation. Upon detailed analysis of the Dissertation, we can identify the list of study/research subjects that student used during preparation of Dissertation. It will be reflected in the academic Transcript as completed research areas. If we believe that student needs more educational work, we will request to complete additional course-work (additional courses of studies).

 

Student will be working independently on Dissertation (with our guidance and supervision). We will provide structural guidance points for the Dissertation preparation, but Dissertation is independent project of student.

 

When student satisfies all program requirements (including academic studies) and upon final approval and acceptance of the Dissertation, the Doctor of Philosophy Degree is awarded. Graduation Diploma (PHD award certificate), Transcript and other related documents will be issued and forwarded (mailed) to the graduate. Dissertation will be archived in digital format in the University records.
