What have been your greatest challenges and learning experiences  while you have developed the draft chapters of your DSP prospectus  (Chapters 1, 2, and 3)?
Now that the DOC courses are strictly focused on the DSP, what are  some strategies you will use to make sure you stay on target for DSP  completion?
The Doctoral Study Project (DSP) is a formal, comprehensive document that details the purpose, background, project approach, project implementation, and conclusions of an applied practitioner-oriented project. Completion and defense of the DSP is a requirement for graduation from Trident at AIU with a Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.). Although preliminary work on a student’s DSP may begin while the student is still completing coursework, formal work on the DSP is undertaken after all core academic coursework is completed. The DSP is intended to: • Enhance your understanding of your field of study; • Provide experience conducting research in your field of study; • Develop your ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate data and conclusions in your field of study; • Make a significant contribution to your field of study; • Include a thorough review of associated professional literature; • Demonstrate your ability to design and carry out an individual research project; • Demonstrate a clear understanding of basic research principles, techniques, and ethics; • Demonstrate evidence of your ability to analyze and synthesize data, as well as draw and evaluate conclusions; • Develop skills in project planning, time management, organization, and implementation; and • Show evidence of a high level of professional competence. It is important to keep in mind that the DSP is not simply another graduate school assignment. The DSP is intended to help the student develop both personally and professionally. It must be scholarly, succinct, and of sufficiently high quality to be published, in part, in a peer-reviewed journal. DSP research may be cataloged and available to other researchers—seasoned professionals and academics, as well as future students—all over the world.
