How Our Degree Program Works - Thomas Francis University - Spiritually-Based Doctoral PhD Degrees

Thomas Francis University's Degree Program is administered under the direction and tutelage of Dr. Douglas Kelley who has researched and taught human development for nearly four decades. He is the author of scores of courses, books, audios, and concepts on a variety of metaphysical topics. Dr. Kelley has designed the TFU Degree Program especially for busy adults who want the knowledge and degree, but who simply cannot spend several years in getting them (as is normally required with traditional colleges and universities).

Our metaphysical degree program is simple and straightforward; we have streamlined it by offering Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees in an accelerated format to save you time and money thereby allowing you to use your knowledge and degree much faster than usual. Since our courses are self-paced, the average completion time for all three degrees is 10 to 12 months. Some students complete it faster, some take longer.


How Our Courses are Structured

  • Each course is divided into segments, much like chapters in a book. The average course has five or six segments, but several advanced and certification courses will have around eight or so.

  • Each segment has written study material in PDF format. Students can download and print the study material for future reference.

  • Some segments feature video and audio components as well as other resources to aid in learning.

  • Most courses have a final exam or quiz consisting of multiple-choice and true/false questions. Many courses also contain a short essay question on the quiz. Advanced and certification courses include written assignments as well. Grading is the standard A, B, C, D, F scale. The minimum passing grade is the standard C- (70%).

  • Course content is comprehensive and adheres to high educational standards.

  • Courses are designed to be challenging-but-achievable—even if you haven't taken a course in years.

 

How Our Courses are Taken

  • Courses are 100% online and are taken one at a time in the order they are listed on the specific degree program description page (see "Choose Your Degree" on the menu above).Study for your Metaphysical Degree / Spiritual Degee anywhere, anytime.

  • A normal desktop or laptop computer is recommended, but students can also use tablets. Just remember that there will be some minimal writing in most courses. Use the device you are most comfortable with.

  • Simply start with Segment 1 by reading the written study material. Study it well enough to get the sense of what it is teaching.

  • Review any supplemental resources such as videos or audios.

  • Then move on to Segment 2, and so on.

  • Once you have carefully and thoroughly studied the material in all segments, you can complete the online quiz and get your Certificate of Completion.

  • You can now move on to your next course.

 

How to Earn Your Degrees

  • Most of our degree programs require a total of nine courses, five for the Bachelor's degree and four for the Master's degree. You are free to take more than the required number of courses in the Master's Program, if you so desire.Steps to Getting Your Metaphysics Degrees

  • The Doctoral Program and degree requires a written Doctoral Thesis which takes the form of answering several questions about the courses you completed in the Bachelor's and Master's Programs.

  • Once you have completed your first five courses, you will receive your Bachelor of Metaphysical Science degree (MSc.B) and digital PDF diploma.

  • Once you have completed your Master's courses, you will receive your Master of Metaphysical Science degree (MSc.M) and digital PDF diploma.
