POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP DEGREE PLAN

Holos University Graduate Seminary (HUGS) offers a Post-Doctoral Theological degree (ThD) to those individuals who have already graduated with a doctorate from an acceptable university. This degree plan offers an opportunity to those individuals who would like to enrich their previous studies. The HUGS Academic Review and Admissions Committee will determine the eligibility for the post-doctoral degree plan. Consideration will be given if the work for the prior degree involved research for new knowledge. To obtain the post-doctoral degree, a combination of course work, as well as the design and completion of a new research study are required. Minimal requirements of the post-doctoral degree plan consist of a total of 30 credit hours.

HUGS utilizes distance learning which is accomplished by working with instructors using email, conference calls and webinars.  There are a few courses that require attendance at a 1 to 3-day residency.  Residency locations and dates are posted on the HU Official Calendar.

**** In compliance with United States federal law and to ensure the integrity and safety of all participants, research involving more than a single case study subject must comply with all ethical guidelines. Researchers are required to complete Human Study Ethics Research Training with the CITI Program from the University of Miami. Additionally, all research protocols must have approval from a recognized Human Study Ethics Review Board (IRB) prior to working with subjects.
