We are committed to offering financial aid for students in need. U.S. citizens and permanent residents enrolled in the doctoral program are eligible for Stafford Loans, if they have not exhausted their financial aid opportunities in previous programs. The structure of this program qualifies as full-time enrollment, and all of the federal aid possibilities it entails. For more information, consult Eastern’s financial aid pages at http://www.eastern.edu/centers/finaid/indexs.html.

To successfully complete the Ph.D. program, students must earn 60 credits, including 51 credits in core and concentration studies and 9 credits for the dissertation proposal, dissertation and oral defense. In order for students to begin the dissertation proposal phase, they must successfully complete comprehensive exams of the core curriculum.
