DIGITAL DOCTORATES IN THE 21ST CENTURY!

We have entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution which has revolutionized the 21st Century. The traditional 20th Century Ph.D. is stuck in the pre-digital revolution. We need to develop a new 21st Century paradigm in order to create the Digital Ph.D.

The digital Ph.D. is now considered the new state of the art in the field of academic research. The entire dissertation is a product of electronic creation and distribution. We can now finish a Ph.D. in 3 years and eliminate the waste and inefficiencies of the traditional Ph.D.

We can fast-track students without having to take unnecessary courses, language requirements and physical residence on a specific campus. We have the necessary Web tools necessary to transform the physical environment into an electronic environment. The new Digital Ph.D. come with complete youtube orientations, Ph.D. editors, weekly supervision meetings, electronic meetings and web counseling.

We can use the emerging artificial intelligence to integrate all the research in the world. We can coordinate all the databases and articles into a unified whole. The modern researcher can use the archives of the top universities and glean the scientific research from over 10,000 science articles. Artifical intelligence and neural networks can scan millions upon millions pieces of data into a mosaic of understanding. The ease and success of doing a Digital Ph.D. will change the graduate experience.

We can now place students with Digital Ph.D.'s into faster employment routes. The students can electronically apply to Private Industry and Academic positions. The new employment platforms are now merging into becoming a fast track source for Digital Ph.D's. The traditional 20th Century Ph.D. is centered in failure and 10-year program. The high dropout rate of 60%  and mental breakdowns can be eliminated by the Digital Ph.D. The traditional Ph.D. has become too expensive and exploitative of students and needs a complete shift into the Digital Ph.D.
