PhD Students: Program of Study
Steps in the Development of the Program of Study
  1. Beginning the first year of the doctoral program, an ongoing program of study is to be completed each quarter by the student. Students must consider far in advance if they would like to petition for previous course work equivalency.

  2. Once the student's Supervisory Committee has been appointed, the program of study functions as an initial draft to the committee, to be used for planning future course needs and learning.

  3. The program of study is then submitted by the student for formal review to the entire supervisory committee, including the Graduate School Representative, along with a statement of research interest.

  4. Using a set of prescribed guidelines, the supervisory committee conducts a formal review of the program of study, making any suggestions for modifications prior to approval.

  5. Following the supervisory committee's approval, the program of study is submitted to Academic Services for placement in the student's file, accompanied by a formal letter of approval by the chair of the committee.
