Pursuing a doctoral degree may seem like a daunting task if you’re working full time or have family obligations, but it doesn’t have to be. The edX platform has a variety of doctorate programs from some of the best schools in the country — and they’re all online. With an online doctoral program, you can choose when and how you study, from anywhere in the world. Many of our programs offer a choice of two learning tracks — take your time with the standard track, or speed through the program content with the accelerated option. Online learners receive much of the same support as on-campus doctorate learners: guidance from admissions counselors, academic advisors, and career services.
