Section 3 The Journey Ahead / Chapter 9 The Doctoral Journey

By Dr. Michael Berger

 

1. Introduction

 

In this chapter, doctoral learners will find strategies for success during the beginning of the program and explanations for a number of resources and support systems that GCU makes available to all learners. Learners are also given a look at what lies ahead in their doctoral programs, mapping out how dissertation development is embedded throughout the conventional course work as well as providing a high-level overview of the dissertation process after learners are assigned committee members in the third year of the program.
