The Walden Dissertation Process
2019, Walden University Doctoral Student Cohort
Walden University has a 6 part dissertation process (prospectus, proposal, IRB, defense, research, final defense). Like all doctoral journeys there are important things to do and to avoid. This presentation is an overview and detailed discussion of the Walden University dissertation process. The presentation has universal applicability as the Walden model mirrors many other universities processes. It is a companion lecture to the book 'My Doctoral Journey' (available at Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/Doctoral-Journey-Carter-Matherly-Ph-D/dp/1982931086/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1544112085&sr=8-1).

Guided by the conceptual framework of self-directed learning and culture, this study investigated the effectiveness of Title IV private, for-profit colleges and universities (FPCUs). Little research has examined this topic, which is problematic considering the disproportionate rate of student loan defaults experienced by Black FPCU borrowers. A phenomenological design was used to explore the meaning of academic achievement for Black doctorate recipients who attained a doctorate in psychology through an FPCU. This study specifically examined how Black students experience the completion of doctoral psychology programs at 2 FPCUs and what factors contributed to these students finishing their degrees. A unique-criterion-purposive sample of 7 Black students who completed doctoral psychology programs at FPCUs within the past 5 years was recruited to participate in telephone interviews. Moustakas’ data analysis steps were applied to the data. The results indicated that study participants saw an association between attaining their doctorates in psychology and their self-actualization. They shared the experiences of selecting a suitable FPCU, choosing a specialty area, negotiating transfer credits, completing the doctoral coursework phase, and completing the dissertation phase. Their commitment to achieving self-actualization was a salient experience in finishing their degrees. A core aspect of self-actualization was their cultural knowledge, which helped them to overcome challenges and persevere. However, the results uncovered some insufficiencies in the FPCUs’ practices. They have implications for positive social change by highlighting how FPCU academic support services might use cultural knowledge and self-actualization strategies to maximize the successful matriculation of Black students.

A book like this cannot be written in isolation. While most of the text found in this manual is original, dozens of similar books and experts were consulted, and many colleagues and friends provided information, feedback, and suggestions. My greatest thanks goes to Nancy Vyhmeister, author of the first AIIAS writing manual, for her willingness to share original content and ideas from her work. Chapter 1 is taken largely from her prior work. She was also instrumental as a consultant for the Turabian chapter and in overall editing of this book. Thanks also to Juanita Bissell, for contributing the basis for the Turabian chapter from her earlier AIIAS Turabian manual. This has been revised, updated, and shortened, but her work is still the basis for Chapter 6. Thanks to Elsie Dela Cruz, Prema Gaikwad, and Esther Papaioannou for their substantial contributions to the APA explanations in Chapter 7. Thanks also to Bonnie Proctor, the editor at Andrews University, for her willingness to share ideas, resources, and materials. By now it is difficult to tell where her ideas end and mine begin, but some of her work is included especially in the introduction, and in the chapters on academic writing conventions, mechanics, APA and Turabian. Her support has been much appreciated.

Earning a doctorate degree is one of the highest honors in one's journey of academic progress; yet very few candidates actually achieve this rank. Part of the reason for some of the challenges in achieving such a rank can be the time requirement, the rigorous and focused research process, passing the comprehensive examinations, a publication requirement, and successfully finishing the

Slater Publishing November 2013 Praise for this book: "It is extremely readable and candid. As a faculty [member], I want students to know the 'real deal'. The approach offered in this book provides one that is holistic realizing that our students are people with lives that influence the dissertation process. The Tracesea sections came at the right time when I was going to ask the very same question. Multiple voices of student and faculty add a wonderful dynamic.
