    The Ph.D. program focused on managerial leadership in the information professions includes six 3-credit foundation courses.

The modules are similar to small capstone projects. Instructors for each module assign a project to be completed by students independently or in groups. The project is designed to enable students to pull together the elements they have learned in the corresponding 3-credit course. The nature of the module project is somewhere between that of traditional assignments and the complex, integrated questions the students will see in the Qualifying Examinations
