THE DOCTORAL DEGREE
Doctor of Commissioner Science
The doctoral program is a great opportunity for you to share an area of
interest, experience, or viable solutions to a Scouting need you recognize
across the Great Trail Council.
Your doctoral program continues your advanced studies that you’ve
prepared for by completing your Bachelor and Masters. You will gain a
detail understanding of the doctoral program written thesis/research
project requirements plus knowledge on advanced topics pertinent to
Scouters as well.
Your doctoral program continues beyond the classroom. You will have
the guidance and support of a doctoral counselor to help you develop a
written thesis/research project for your selected and approved subject.
Your doctoral counselor will be a Scouter who is experienced and
knowledgeable in writing a thesis/research project, and can either be an
individual that you identify (with Doctoral College approval) or an
assigned individual.
Please expect your doctoral program to be a multiple year effort.
Ideally, after you attend the doctoral program at the College of
Commissioner Science, the next year of the college you will present
your submitted and approved thesis/research project. Your area of
research may be limited by time constraints. Your research,
observations, interviews, surveys, and/or field-testing that you use may
take more than one year. Thus for some doctoral candidates their
thesis/research project completion may be given two years from their
initial doctoral classroom attended.
