February 3, 201114 yr Did a search. Any 'spouses' gather information on how to successfully start and complete a PHD program during an assignment? Looks like 4-7 years on some Doctoral programs. Also, any legit ways to do this for a spouse that is not through Phoenix or other online shady degrees? Edited February 3, 201114 yr by snafu
February 3, 201114 yr Sorry, nothing to add to your search. When I first read your title I assumed you were a Doctor looking for a wife who is a pilot. Good luck with your search! Edited February 3, 201114 yr by Duck
February 3, 201114 yr You'll not find a respected university that offers online Ph.D programs, no matter the field. Library research and a collaborative/stimulating academic environment are necessary to prepare one for a life of research, teaching, and/or practice at the highest levels. However, there are some Masters level programs (e.g., Duke MBA and Univ. of Florida MBA) that are highly regarded.
February 3, 201114 yr Author Thank you. The Masters level program will be done shortly. It is the PHD that needs to get tackled. Maybe someone here found an interesting solution to this problem. Thank you though.
February 9, 201114 yr You don't have to live in the same city full time. Yes PhD programs take multiple years, but there are many variables after the first year or two. Some require teaching,other require research work...truly depends on the type of PhD she wants to pursue. My wife was able to make a few visits the last few years and one the last year to present and defend her dissertation. Two on the online degrees, far more credible these days.
February 12, 201114 yr Some only have a residency requirement for a portion of the doctoral program, and the rest require short seminars to be accomplished throughout the program. Whats the discipline? Location?
February 14, 201114 yr Author Discipline: Something in Education, the University may offer a more specific route and I am not up on all the different paths. Location: We will find out soon. We are lead turning by a month on research. Thank you. She will wait to see what University is the closest/best and walk in like CH recommended.
