  1. Anyone have any experience with a part-time or weekend PhD? All I've found when searching online are diploma mills and online degrees in specialty fields (i.e. Higher Education Management, Physical Therapy, Psychology, etc.). I'm beginning to wonder whether it is possible to obtain a reputable PhD on a part-time basis. I'm locked into a 2.5 year contract with my current employer, but have been planning a career move for a few years now. I'd like to complete a PhD while I finish out my contract, just to improve my resume and maintain educational parity with my peer group. I'm about halfway through my third masters and quite sure I'm reaching the point of diminishing returns. I have a robust background in engineering and social sciences at the graduate level, and strong test scores, so there's some flexibility about the type of degree program. Anything in economics, international relations, systems engineering, data science, or IT would fit my background well. I'm currently located in CA with the ability to travel to LA or SF, and weekends and evenings completely free. I would greatly appreciate any advice or heuristics on how to undertake a part-time PhD while working, specifically as it relates to finding a program, negotiating an academic schedule, etc. Thanks!
