Doctoral Program Statement of Purpose

APUS professional practice doctorates are multidisciplinary degrees that address intellectual, cultural, and organizational challenges in the respective profession of study. These programs educate and prepare the next generation of global leaders to advance academic and professional practice in their fields embracing a scholar-practitioner model of education in which practice, research, and multidisciplinary approaches are integrated components. This transformational approach concurrently integrates and develops knowledge, skills, findings, and insights applied to solve or provide greater understanding of complex problems. Likewise, we aim to advance theory and practice to enhance the related disciplines, areas of professional practice, and communities wherein our students, faculty, and University serve.
