It was a strategy to credential experienced academics who had a suite of refereed publications but who had not undertaken a doctorate.

A careful and considered curricula strategy was configured to create a pathway to the qualification.

If you have published a series of refereed articles and/or scholarly monographs, then this PhD may be an option for you.
