Earn Your Ph.D. Online

Is an online Ph.D. a part-time road to big-time opportunity? Regent’s flexible doctoral programs help aspiring leaders revive “stuck” careers in education, ministry and business.

Why You Should Invest in a Ph.D. Degree

If your life path isn’t matching up with the vision you hold, it may be time for a doctoral degree. A Ph.D. provides advanced training and skills you can put to work to advance your career and become an inspiring leader. And if you work in academia, a doctoral degree may even be required. While obtaining a Ph.D. demands time and determination, the payoffs are very real. Median usual weekly earnings with a doctoral degree were about 26 percent higher than with a master’s degree, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2019, while unemployment rates were the lowest among all degree levels.*

Earn Your Doctorate While Managing Your Busy Life

Many of Regent University’s doctoral programs are available part time and online, allowing you to pursue your Ph.D. on your own schedule. You can view lectures, submit assignments, collaborate with fellow learners and, in some cases, even engage in your thesis seminar — all online.
