The GTU’s doctoral program is governed by Areas, or fields of study. Students are admitted to an Area and work within that framework. In addition to being a field of study, an Area represents a distinctive methodology or approach to scholarship. Students should attempt to pursue advanced study at the GTU only in those fields or combinations of fields where faculty and library resources are available. The availability of appropriate faculty resources is a primary criterion for determining the fit between an applicant and the doctoral programs of the GTU.
