Residency and distance-delivered options
The Ph.D. is offered as a residency-based program for those in the North Texas region and as a distance-delivered cohort program for those preferring the flexibility of an online program.
Residency students meet for courses at the state-of-the-art UNT Discovery Park. Students participating in the distance option take online courses throughout the year and attend a mandatory yearly face-to-face meeting during the fall. The annual meeting is held in conjunction with a major conference when possible.
Degree requirements
The Ph.D. degree consists of 60-69 credit hours, which includes:
Students work closely with faculty members during course work and the dissertation, providing support and encouragement, as needed.
