Earning A Doctorate Degree
from: Kyle BesserTaking into account the time it takes to complete the continuing education for a master's degree and a dissertation, it usually takes 6 to 8 years to earn a doctoral continuing education degree. Some continuing education programs take longer to compete than others. For example, engineering continuing education programs are usually shorter than humanities continuing education programs. Even if a candidate specializes in a subfield of a discipline, such as American history, organic chemistry or modern art, the candidate must take continuing education classes that cover the complete subject.
Students must take comprehensive tests that cover all major areas of their field, attend seminars, take 20 or more continuing education classes that become progressively more specialized and complete a dissertation. To complete a dissertation, candidates must complete original research in their field of study and write about their findings. This typically consists of proposing a model or hypothesis and testing it. It generally takes 1 to 2 years of full-time work to complete a dissertation. Faculty advisors are assigned to give direction and guidance to candidates working on their dissertation.
It is not uncommon for students in some fields, such as natural science, to conduct postdoctoral research for an additional 2 years continuing education before taking a faculty position. If they are unable to find a faculty job, some PhDs lengthen postdoctoral appointments, or take new ones. Postdoctoral appointments can earn a small to modest salary.
Obtaining tenure is a significant part of the academic career for faculty members. Generally hired as assistant professors or instructors, new tenure-track faculty must work under term contracts for a period of time, typically 7 years. At the end of this time, the institution reviews their research, documentation of teaching and their overall involvement at the institution. A positive review grants tenure. Those who fail to attain tenure, typically leave the institution.
Once tenure is obtained, professors must be given just cause and due process before they can be terminated. Tenure protects the academic freedom of the faculty. They can conduct research and teach freely without worrying about being terminated for promoting ideas that may be unpopular or controversial. Tenure gives the stability to conduct effective teaching and research and financial security for the faculty. Some institutions have implemented review programs for post-tenure faculty to promote continuous evaluation of those with tenure.
