Online PhD in Professional Writing

I must tell you, since I have spread the word about online education, I have received many questions. Here is another for the members.

I am, well not me, looking for an online PhD in Professional Writing. I already forwarded the Masters in Professional writing to a friend, but now he is looking for a PhD of the same.

Thanks once again.

Hey Gettingthere, this is great!

One other question; are there any that say specifically "PhD in Professional Writing", or is this another name for that?

I located another one for him, but before I forward it, can you guys take a look? It says PhD in English, with a field concentration; Professional Writing and New Media.

Professional Writing and New Media:

This field is designed for those in education and industry who wish to study the connections between discourse and technology. It emphasizes analyzing professional writing and new media from rhetorical, historical, theoretical, pedagogical, practical, and research perspectives. Courses examine advanced document design, usability studies, and digital literacy issues. Through theoretical exploration and experiential learning, the program prepares graduates for leadership roles in technical and professional communication, composition instruction and administration, and software development.

I am beginning to think that there is no such thing as a "PhD in Professional Writing, for I typed it in the Goggle search engine with no promising return.

Anyway, if you guys run into something that says this, let me know.

By-the-way, I don't know if I should provide the link to the University that offers the PhD in English, with the field concentration in Professional Writing and New Media. I will do it anyway, and a MOD can remove it if it is considered Spam:

In case this fact matters, the PHD at Old Dominion is not entirely DL.

Under Admissions, Program at a Distance:

"Old Dominion University requires that all doctoral students have one year of full-time, on-campus study to complete the degree. To accommodate that requirement, part-time students attend two Summer Doctoral Institutes."
