I would like to apply for a PhD program in Leadership & Human Resource Development, College of Human Sciences & Education. The admission office asked me for a personal statement, and this document of 1,000 words or less provides the admissions committee with information allowing them to become more acquainted with me and my interests. The statement should address the following questions

 

1.  What do you want to study in our Ph.D. program? We see leadership and human resource development as logically connected and mutually supportive areas of study and practice. Both fields have their origins in the social sciences (psychology, sociology), the humanities (ethics, philosophy), and professional and applied fields (organization development, education). Both are multidisciplinary academic fields and both are developmental insofar as they seek to create positive change in people, organizations, and communities. Within this broad sphere of research, theory, and practice where do your interests lie? Why does this make you a good match for our program?

2.  What are your research interests? Our Ph.D. program offers a research-oriented degree in which the completion of a research-based dissertation is the capstone achievement. Describing your research interests will help our faculty gauge areas of overlap between your interests and theirs. Therefore, please provide a statement of your potential research interests. In doing so, try to situate your research interests within the larger fields of leadership and human resource development, articulate one or more broad questions you are interested in answering, and describe why the question or questions are important.

Also, There are some information from my C,V you may need:

Unit 12 – PMLC Methodology

Select a Project Management Lifecycle Methodology (PMLC)

Depending on their governing characteristics, differing projects require differing fundamental approaches during planning and execution. For this assignment you are to determine which PMLC Methodology best suits your project. Using the course materials from this unit as your guide, including the PMLC Summary document, determine which Project Management Lifecycle Methodology should be used for your project, and why.

Note: You may select the Traditional Project Management Methodology if you feel that it is the best choice for your project; however, regardless of which PMLC you choose you must provide justification for your approach and identify challenges that it may face.

Prepare a one- to two-page document explaining which PMLC Methodology, you believe, best suits your project including a justification for your selection. Also include any challenges that you would face if you moved forward with the selected methodology

If the organization’s training is deemed inadequate, is the liability of the organization affected by whether or not the individual acted outside the limits of his or her training?

The paper must be two to three pages in length and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least two scholarly sources (at least one of which can be found in the Ashford University Library) other than the textbook to support your claims and subclaims.
