07.03.05 Program of Study - PhD
A program of study leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree is prepared by the student in consultation with the advisor. This must be done at least four months before the qualifying examination may be taken. This program must include the following:
- a list of those courses for which the student will receive graduate credit; and
- the specific foreign languages in which the student must show competence.
The program of study must first be approved by the chair of the department or his or her representative and then by the graduate research committee. Examples of programs of study and deadlines for submission to the graduate research committee are available in the graduate office. This program will constitute the formal requirements which must be met by the student before completion of work for the degree. Changes in programs must be made following the same procedure as for new programs.
Typical partial course requirements in the various major fields are listed in the sections that follow (section 07.03.08 through 07.03.11). In all cases additional course work will be required according to the needs and interests of the individual student.
