CTU Doctoral Programs - Executive Format

What can I expect from a doctoral program at CTU?

Executive format doctoral programs at CTU begin every quarter and each is 3 years in length. Throughout your program, you’ll engage with a small and constant group of fellow doctoral students in a highly interactive online learning environment. Along with this cohort group, you’ll take one online course per quarter.

In addition to your online studies, twice a year you’ll meet in person with your peers and instructors during our intensive 4 1/2 day residential symposia. These face to face sessions provide an opportunity for stimulating discussion and sharing of ideas that can truly enhance your online learning experience. You’ll hear renowned speakers and participate in professional workshops, student presentations, small group and faculty interaction, and professional networking.
