Earning a Doctorate Degree in the 21st Century: Challenges and Joys
reflects on some of the main reasons people pursue a doctorate
degree, the techniques for setting the course and what candidates
should do to make sure their degree is completed in a timely
manner. If you are a university administrator, currently a doctoral
candidate or thinking about becoming one, then this book is for
you. Good luck in your pursuit of becoming a protector of wisdom
Review Comments: In this text you'll benefit from the counsel of
the authors who have coached numerous others before you through
this process. - Dr. Paul Hersey, Chairman, Center for Leadership
Studies This book is your ace in the hole to completing a doctoral
program. If you have the thirst for knowledge, but are unsure if
you have the wherewithal to complete a doctoral program, this book
is for you. You will find helpful tips for succeeding, learn from
the experiences of others who have struggled to achieve and
succeeded in the process, and probably change your way of thinking
about yourself. You will find yourself thinking about where you
have been, where you are going, and the motivations, attitude, and
strategy you need to complete a doctoral program. - Dr. Tamara S.
Terry, Assistant Dean and Chief Financial Officer of the H. Wayne
Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship "Earning a
Doctorate Degree" lays out the realities of why so many students
fail to make it to the finish line. The authors build a solid case
for why doctoral programs build unnecessary barriers leading to
discouragement and high failure rates. Written in a clearly
understood and anecdotal fashion, Mujtaba and Scharff argue a case
of student/faculty disconnect and false expectations. At the heart
of their argument for boosting doctoral completion is an intrinsic
appreciation for the value of learning that has been lost in the
luster of "doc-in-the-box" approaches to boosting a candidate's job
credentials. The book is based on practitioner perspectives adding
to its credibility and readership. Both school administrators and
doctoral student prospects will benefit from these long overdue
ideas for boosting retention. - Dr. James Barry, Professor of
Marketing While the path to completing a doctoral degree contains
numerous obstacles, in "Earning a Doctorate Degree" Drs. Mujtaba
and Scharff provide a useful roadmap to avoid them. Each section
contains personal insights of the authors and others who have
successfully completed the journey. From the beginning of why one
would want to undertake the goal of a doctorate to completing the
dissertation, the reader is provided with key issues related to
challenges and how to overcome the barriers. The book should be
read when a potential student is considering a doctorate to help in
the decision-making process, and once a student enrolls, it should
be re-read as the student progresses through a program to keep
him/her on course for completion. - Dr. Les Carter,
Entrepreneurship Chair, St. Edward's University
