The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)

such related
organizations as advertising and public relations agencies, research
and marketing companies, and, especially, for teaching and
research careers
in higher education.
The program requires a minimum of 48 semester hours of coursework including
a 12-hour dissertation. An earned master’s degree is required for
admission to this doctoral program. (See Doctoral Manual)
