Required Coursework

All doctoral students must register for Beginning Fall 2023, registration in two semesters of EDP 395R Qualifying Process Research before the end of the semester in which they students go through the qualifying process will now vary depending on which program you are in. Doctoral students should check with their advisor to see what their particular program requires. Some programs may still require 6 hours of EDP 395R, while others may require only 3 hours, or none.  Summer registration in EDP 395R is contingent on approval of the qualifying process adviser and the adviser’s ability to supervise the student’s work during the summer. 

Students must have successfully completed at least 5 of the 6 required foundation courses during the semester prior to the semester in which they go through the qualifying process. With supervisor permission, the 6th foundation course may be completed during the same semester the student is going through the qualifying process. Careful planning is required to get these courses completed on time, and it is recommended these courses be taken as soon as possible (summer offerings are not guaranteed).
