      Part time PhD Programs in Social Science

      Social science combines many different fields, including psychology, biology, and public policy. Students interested in the relationships between people and cultures may enjoy these programs. Classes are offered worldwide, which can enhance understanding of different societies.

      The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.

      Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
