Doctoral Project Length
While there is no set number of pages for a dissertation, it should be a minimum of 100 total pages, excluding the preliminary pages and the references. An average dissertation is between 100 to 300 pages in length. The length depends on the topic, methodology, etc. Page recommendations by chapter appear in the templates.
Dissemination
Aspen University holds to the tradition that doctoral graduates, as a member of the scholarly community, make their research available to interested persons. This recommendation is met when the graduate submits the dissertation for publication to external indices or journals. Please discuss with your Chair your goals with your final project.
Binding
If you would like a hard copy of your dissertation, you may choose to bind it. For more information on the process, email: mail@phdbookbinding.com.
