Career and Workforce Education (Ph.D.)
Individual Program of Study:
Customized
Program of Study to Meet Individual Goals
By
the end of the 2nd semester of the student's coursework or
before the student has completed 15 hours of graduate coursework,
the student will select a Program of Study Committee comprised
of a minimum of four credentialed faculty members, one of whom
serves as a chairperson, or two of whom serve as co-chairs.
One member must also be from outside the Department of Adult,
Career and higher Education. This committee will be responsible
for developing the student's Program of Study and designing
and evaluating his/her qualifying examination.
Qualifying
Exam
After
completing all coursework or during the last semester
of coursework, Ph.D. students must pass a qualifying examination.
The student and his/her major advisor can select one of three
options for planning and evaluating the qualifying examination.
Option
1: The exam integrates the work in the student's specialization
area, the cognate area, and required coursework. The majority
of students choose this option. The results of the exam are
evaluated by all members of the student's Program of Study Committee.
Option 2: The exam is composed of sub-tests covering the specialization,
the cognate area, the foundations, and the research required
coursework.
Option 3: The student writes a formal, scholarly paper that demonstrates
integration and synthesis covering knowledge in the specialization,
the cognate area, and the required coursework. This paper can
not be used to fulfill part or all of the dissertation requirements.
The paper is evaluated by all members of the student's Program
of Study Committee.
