Requirements for Degrees

Research advisors will instruct doctoral candidates through the Doctor Thesis course (three courses, 6 units). At the end of each academic year, students must submit an annual study report. In order to acquire doctoral candidacy status, students must pass the Doctoral Candidacy Examination. Those qualifying for this status receive research guidance for at least three terms before they submit their dissertation and take the final examination. The degree is decided by an Evaluation Committee. The standard residence in this program is three years.
