AB  - PAtENT (Pathways to Entrepreneurship) is a pilot program for an alternate pathway allowing doctoral candidates in STEM programs to satisfy capstone degree requirements by applying for patents. This model and the PAtENT program aim to bring greater alignment between doctoral degrees and the rapidly changing employment landscape, and have the potential to modernize the STEM Ph.D.  In order to create flexible pathways to doctoral degrees that catalyze innovations, institutional support is needed to sustain exploratory and interdisciplinary research. A total of seven faculty and four graduate students participated in a qualitative study of PAtENT to address the overall research questions of a) what appeals to you about this alternative pathway, and b) what is needed to support alternative pathways in STEM doctoral degrees? This short paper describes the pilot program, its context, and presents findings from the qualitative study that inform next steps for all institutions interested in advancing research innovations in STEM educational practice.
