The doctoral degree requires a minimum of 60 graduate credit hours, including 12 hours of dissertation preparation (899), beyond the baccalaureate degree. Up to 24 graduate course-work hours from a master’s degree may be applied toward the Ph.D. with advisory committee approval. Doctoral degree students must complete at least half of the hours on the Program of Study (D-POS) in courses numbered 700 or higher. A dissertation of original research is required. A period of residency, a foreign language or research methods proficiency, a comprehensive examination, and a dissertation defense and examination are also required. The specific curriculum for the doctoral degree varies with the discipline and some programs require additional credit hours. Students enrolled in a doctoral program have eight years from the first term of enrollment in which to complete the degree. Students must be enrolled for at least 1 credit during the term of graduation.
