    Fast-Track Doctoral Degrees

    Move forward faster through flexible study and reviewed experience.

    Program Overview

    This pathway is not a separate degree. It helps qualified adult learners and ministry leaders complete one of the doctoral degrees listed in the Program Catalog sooner, through transfer credit and credit for documented prior learning. Such credit is never automatic. It is awarded only after academic review, and the combined maximum is 12 credits toward a master's or doctoral degree. Doctoral students must complete the dissertation or doctoral project. Payment does not guarantee credit, placement, degree completion, or graduation.
