Hybrid Format
The personal financial planning doctorate is a hybrid program in which you will take online courses during the fall and spring semesters and participate in intensive 10-day summer experiences. During three consecutive summer residency sessions on the K-State campus in Manhattan, Kansas, you will build connections with faculty, peers and the university.
For the final summer session, you will travel abroad with your classmates to see up-close how global markets work and how they affect financial planning in the United States and worldwide.
