Ph.D. Learning Models

Walden’s online doctoral programs allow you to focus on your interests. With the guidance of a faculty mentor, you’ll gain the research and academic skills you need to make an original contribution as an expert in your field.

Some programs are course-based, which allow you to master critical concepts in a structured online classroom. Other programs use a mixed-model combination of courses and Knowledge Area Modules (KAMs) or focus primarily on KAMs, emphasizing faculty-guided independent research.

All doctoral degree programs incorporate face-to-face residencies and culminate in either a dissertation or doctoral study, with faculty supporting you along the way.
