Course description
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE
PROGRAM
Requires a Master’s Degree Plus 60 Credit Hours of Doctoral
Study
Materials for each course in this program consist of either a
series of audio, lectures, a textbook, or a workbook. Students are required to
listen to the audio, lectures, to read the textbook, and to answer the
questions prepared for each course. Answer sheets are provided for that

students are required to write an eleven paragraph essay describing nine points
of the book or audio course that spoke to them. Also, students are required to
read an ADDITIONAL book that is related to the subject matter being taught and
to prepare a twelve-page book report of that ADDITIONAL book. All Outlines,
Essays, and Book Reports are to be written as per the required format provided
in the appendix of this catalog. For each course of the Doctorate Degree
Program the Test will comprise 40%, the Outlines will comprise 10%, the Essays
will comprise 20%, and the Book Report will comprise 30% of the course grade. All
scores will be averaged together for one grade. In addition to the required
course of study, all students receiving a Doctor of Philosophy Degree must
submit a dissertation in MLA form of no less than one-hundred (100), and no
more than one-hundred twenty-five (125) typewritten (double-spaced) pages with
