I guess I forgot to mention that I don't have that much flexibility when it
comes to PhD programs. I am married with two kids. I plan to return to get
my PhD when my kids are a bit older so I can immediately, post-PhD go on to
a job as a professor. I'm just researching options now.
I wonder if any universities offer distance study for PhD?! Probably not for
science, but maybe for some of these other fields?
What about Keith Miller -- didn't he write that book Finding Darwin's God?
Or something like that? Is he a professor somewhere? In what?
Thanks to all for feedback :) I still am curious about Princeton because
there is a slight possibility of moving there at some point. I don't want to
go in TX where I am now. I'm going to wait til we move on in a few years.
Unless I can find a distance study. Does Princeton have anyone who studies
such things? A religion dept? A history of science anything? I've always
wanted to go to an Ivy League school...
Wendee :)
