Admission to Candidacy
Admission to the doctoral program does not imply admission to candidacy. Students shall be admitted to candidacy prior to completion of their dissertation and once they have:
- filed the required forms with the graduate dean,
- successfully completed all course work,
- passed their written and oral comprehensive examinations and
- after the attainment of acceptable scores in an appropriate second language test.
Course Longevity
A student must complete all requirements for the doctoral degree, including the dissertation, within ten consecutive years of initial registration for that degree. Graduate credits older than ten years are not applicable toward a doctoral degree without written recommendation from the program coordinator and approval from the Graduate Dean.
All post-master, doctoral course work (including the dissertation), must be satisfactorily completed by the doctoral student in a maximum of 99 semester credit hours. If the Graduate Dean approves in writing that a student may proceed beyond the 99 – credit hour limit, the student will be assessed out-of-state tuition.
Residency Requirements
Residency may be established through 12 consecutive months of either part-time or full-time enrollment in the doctoral program.
Dissertation
A dissertation must be prepared under the direction of the major professor and must be approved by the student's graduate committee and the graduate dean. The major professor must be a member of the bilingual education faculty of the department.
Normal Course Load
Twelve semester hours constitute a maximum course load during the fall and spring semesters. Students working full-time may enroll for no more than 6 hours during any semester or summer term in which they work. A full-time status course load is 9 semester credit hours during the fall or spring semesters and 3 semester credit hours during each summer session.
Under no circumstances shall any student be allowed to defend their proposal and final defense of their dissertation in the same semester. Defending a proposal of a final defense in the summer is subject to the approval of the dissertation chair and of the availability of committee members.
