Ralph W. Emerson University

America's Only Phd by Publication Program

 If accepted into our program,  students with a master's degree and an approved series of related, published articles or a thesis-equivalent major work in their area of specialization may be granted a PhD. Once approved, their work will be featured and archived in our database for viewing and use by peers and colleagues.

  Innovative Scholarly Work, Published and Accessible

Those whose work passes muster, and to whom we award our degree are those who are fully engaged in research and innovation in their fields. As the program is one way of bestowing formal recognition of the contribution of our colleagues, our publication of their valued research on our website will make their findings and ideas accessible to the world. Archived and occasionally featured on our website, the qualifying work of our graduates will serve to enlighten scholars and practitioners alike for a lifetime and beyond.
