To qualify for this program, you'll need the equivalent of three years of full-time work experience beyond your bachelor's degree. As a participant, you'll undertake original research guided by an advisor, culminating in a dissertation that you'll write and defend. Typically, you're required to spend two consecutive semesters in full-time residency at the university.
