Navigating the Doctoral Journey provides an in-depth look at the typical structures and expectations of doctoral programs - both the PhD and professional practice doctorates, like the EdD and PsyD. Particularly valuable for working professionals considering a return to school, this book is a personal decoder ring, demystifying doctoral studies. From picking the right program, to mastering research methods, to navigating the competing demands of school and family, you will get a detailed tour of what you are signing up for. Each chapter includes specific strategies for success and concludes with questions for reflection, to help you make good choices and plan for the arduous road ahead.
