Make an Impact
The School of Advanced Studies is focused on making the completion of your dissertation not only educationally enriching, but personally fulfilling.
Our doctoral learners are consistently developing dissertations that impact their industries and communities. Through a variety of research methods—including quantitative, qualitative, correlational, phenomenological, and case studies—they are conducting original research on organizational leadership.
In recent years, we have produced some of the most-requested dissertations. School of Advanced Studies learners wrote two of the top 10 most-requested dissertations in 2006, according to ProQuest® service. Review some of our featured dissertations by students in the School of Advanced Studies.
Developing Your Dissertation
The culmination of your time as a student and a scholar results in your dissertation. We will help you initiate research and complete the writing process through the following steps:
- Develop your own dissertation topic on leadership
- Select mentors from a pool of qualified faculty
- Receive support from your dissertation mentor, at least two committee members, as well as qualified faculty and staff
- Gather feedback through eight levels of dissertation review
Assignments are integrated throughout the program in one-on-one classes with your mentor, face-to-face and with a group during your residency.
