At the University of the District of Columbia for our Urban Leadership and Entrepreneurship doctorate degree, we have a cumulative dissertation in which the students publish two-peer reviewed articles as a requirement of graduation. We do not require a manuscript dissertation for this group.
Here is what we offer at the University of the District of Columbia:
Students who are within nine (9) semester credit hours of
completing the final requirements for the bachelor’s degree
and are in good academic standing at UDC may enroll in a
maximum of two graduate courses (not to exceed 6 semester
hours).
Prior to enrolling, students must secure written authorization
from the chairperson of the student’s major department, the
department chairperson of the graduate program offering the
course the student wishes to take, and the dean of the
College/School in which the course is taught. If such courses
are to later apply to a graduate degree program, graduate fees
will be assessed on these courses
