Unlock Opportunity in Complex Doctoral Programs
Flexible modalities - online, distance, or hybrid - make quality education more accessible to students, wherever they are.
For adult learners with ambitions to pursue advanced degrees, these options can be vital to unlocking the next step in their careers - especially for those in rural and underserved areas.
Keypath helps universities unlock opportunity - providing the resources and expertise to create high-quality, engaging learning environments in an online/hybrid format, even with complex doctoral programs like the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), Juris Doctor (JD), or Doctor of Education (EdD).
Together, we can transform education in complex fields and expand your university’s reach and impact.

Complex Doctoral Programs
PharmD
Flexible PharmD programs meet students where they live, increasing their chances of remaining in and serving their home communities.
-
Fill a Critical Need: Rural areas face a scarcity of pharmacists, which impacts access to essential healthcare services.
-
Expand Your Geographic Reach: The distribution of PharmD programs across the country is uneven, further exacerbating pharmacist shortages in underserved areas. Hybrid pathways extend the reach of new and existing programs.
-
Impact Students' Communities: Educating students where they live increases the likelihood that their community will benefit from a newly licensed professional at the time of program completion.
JD
Hybrid and online programs create pathways for diverse and nontraditional students to pursue a JD that might have been inaccessible through traditional campus programs.
-
Be on the Leading Edge: The shift of programs to hybrid or fully online formats (approved by the ABA in 2023) is still in its early stages, with ample opportunity to establish leadership in the space.
-
Impact Nontraditional Students: The flexibility and accessibility of not needing to relocate or commit to a rigid schedule put a JD within reach for students who are working professionals, parents, or caregivers or balancing other life commitments.
-
Foster Diversity in the Field: Removing barriers to entry attracts a more diverse student body, who will enrich the legal field with new and different perspectives.
EdD
Strategically designed online EdD programs allow working learners to advance their education while continuing their careers.
-
Empower Future Leaders: Educate the next wave of leadership in schools, communities, government, and more, regardless of their geographic location.
-
Make Career Advancement Accessible: Online courses allow working professionals to balance employment with pursuing the next step in their career growth.
-
Meet Students’ Needs: Strategic program development leveraging concentrated or targeted synchronous time provides high-quality learning opportunities that fit into students’ busy schedules.

what our partners say
"Working with the instructional design team at Keypath has been such an amazing experience. When I started the journey of building my first online skills lab course, I was honestly very apprehensive. How in the world was I going to be able to convert a pharmacy skills lab course, centered on hands-on activities and active learning, into an effective online course?
The knowledge, skill, and creativity of my instructional designer made it possible and far exceeded my expectations. He coached me through the entire process and was able to build custom interactives, study tools, and optimized features in our learning management to simulate the hands-on, active learning environment of my lab course in an online format."
