I have received many responses for which I am grateful.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.
The majority opinion of responses was that every PhD is a part time
endeavor in many respects. The typical candidate is expected to
participate in a group research project part of the time, to teach
as an assistant or aide part time, and to conduct research for his/her
own project part time. Many times a student in an official PhD
program will be allowed to work in industry during the program. This
flexibility is dependent on the school and instructors policies and
attitudes.
I must mention some few responses were against part time PhD,
citing the requirements of emersion and urgency to complete a project
while it has validity and to conduct an adequate accomplishment.
There were also the following programs for part time that may be an
official program for investigation:
1.DEAKIN UNIVERSITY , IN ENGLAND
2.UC SANTA CRUZ , CALIFORNIA
3.UC LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
4.UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA , TAMPA
5.RUTGERS UNIVERSITY , NEW JERSEY
6.De PAUL UNIVERSITY , CHICAGO
7.FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY , MELBOURNE FLORIDA
8.NYU
9.STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA -RESTRICTED TO HONORS COOP
(SITN SAYS YES ; DEPARTMENT SAYS NO)
My choice has been made and I thank you again for helping me.
I hope this will help someone else.
These are not all confirmed with the schools. Good luck to those also
looking. My employer has asked to be disassociated from my comments.
