Doctor

School of Social and Human
Studies
Atlantic International University
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.
