Doctoral Degrees
Our doctoral degree programs employ a scientist/practitioner model of learning and focus on best practices. We believe that research is not separate from application or practice. Our doctoral students collaborate closely with faculty to generate new theories and classification systems, experimental approaches to assessing pressing issues, and a wide range of models within the content of specific research agendas.
