The Doctor of Journalism (PhD) goal is to provide students with a strong foundation and professional skills necessary to conduct ground breaking research. The program helps students initiate, contribute to, and pursue a program of research in their chosen areas of inquiry. The Journalism program is designed to advance the professional development of experienced journalism graduates and professionals in the journalism arena by extending their knowledge and equipping them with broad research and process journalism skills, enabling them to make a key leadership contribution to their chosen fields. AIU’s Doctorate degree in Journalism goes one step further by allowing students to study and research multiple key areas of computer science to develop a unique foundation of practical knowledge and computer science theory. Your AIU Distance Learning Doctorate program in Journalism will be a custom-made program, designed just for you by you and your advisor. This flexibility to meet your needs is seldom found in other distance learning programs. Our program does not require every student to study the same subjects and use the same books and other learning materials as every other student. Instead our online Doctoral programs are designed just for you. They are individually designed to meet your needs and help you to reach your professional and personal goals. Important: Below is an example of the topics or areas you may develop and work on during your studies. By no means is it a complete or required list as AIU programs do not follow a standardized curriculum. It is meant solely as a reference point and example.
