The Doctor of Legal Studies (PhD)
goal is to help students understand existing
legal rules and doctrines, with their underlying
policy arguments, so that they can think
about these arguments, prepare to present
an argument and let their own voices be
heard. The program helps students initiate,
contribute to, and pursue a program of research
in their chosen areas of inquiry. The Legal
Studies program is designed to advance the
professional development of experienced
legal studies graduates and professionals
in the legal studies 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 Legal Studies
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 Legal Studies 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.
