The doctoral program at Texas Tech provides a rigorous foundation in theory and research methods in individual financial decision making to prepare students to teach and conduct research in financial planning at an academic institution. Students who complete the Ph.D. will be eligible to sit for the CFP Certification Examination.

A Ph.D. without master's degree may be pursued if applicants meet specific criteria. Students who have master's degrees without a thesis will take additional classes on statistics and research methodology.

The doctoral degree requires a minimum of 60 semester hours of graduate work beyond the bachelor's degree, exclusive of credit for the dissertation. Up to 22 hours of leveling classes may be required for students who have not completed a CFP Board-Registered financial planning program. Students develop their courses of study in consultation with a graduate advisory committee. Following the completion of theory and research collateral coursework, a qualifying examination for admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Graduate School. Classes are taught on the Texas Tech campus and are not offered in an online format.
