I have received many responses for which I am grateful.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.

The majority opinion of responses was that every PhD is a part time
endeavor in many respects.  The typical candidate is expected to
participate in a group research project part of the time, to teach
as an assistant or aide part time, and to conduct research for his/her
own project part time.  Many times a student in an official PhD
program will be allowed to work in industry during the program.  This
flexibility is dependent on the school and instructors policies and
attitudes.

I must mention some few responses were against part time PhD,
citing the requirements of emersion and urgency to complete a project
while it has validity and to conduct an adequate accomplishment.

There were also the following programs for part time that may be an
official program for investigation:
           1.DEAKIN UNIVERSITY , IN ENGLAND
           2.UC SANTA CRUZ , CALIFORNIA
           3.UC LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
           4.UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA , TAMPA
           5.RUTGERS UNIVERSITY , NEW JERSEY
           6.De PAUL UNIVERSITY , CHICAGO
           7.FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ,  MELBOURNE FLORIDA
           8.NYU
           9.STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA -RESTRICTED TO HONORS COOP
                        (SITN SAYS YES ; DEPARTMENT SAYS NO)

My choice has been made and I thank you again for helping me.

  I hope this will help someone else.


These are not all confirmed with the schools. Good luck to those also
looking. My employer has asked to be disassociated from my comments.
