Suggested Curriculum Sequence
The typical plan of study requires enrollment in a minimum of nine (9) credit hours per term to maintain full-time status. Not every course is offered every term, and the following plan of study is an illustration. At the initial conference with the Program Director, a preliminary plan of study will be established, and this will be reported to the School of Graduate Studies (using the SGS Plan of Study Form) for placement in the student’s official file. At this time, any anticipated exceptions or anticipated transfer credits will be noted. An estimated time for completion of the dissertation must be included. Changes to the plan of study will be reported to the School of Graduate Studies. The student and the advisor will sign the form submitted to the School of Graduate Studies.
The following is based on the minimum of 36 hours of graduate course work beyond the
Baccalaureate degree. Students entering the Ph.D. program with prior graduate studies can transfer up to 6 hours of 600 level or higher equivalent courses per the approval of the Program Director and the School of Graduate Study (transfer credits cannot have not been used as part of another degree).
Year 1, First Semester (Fall, Year 1): 9 Credits
Year 1, Second Semester (Spring, Year 1) : 9 Credits
Year 2, Third Semester (Fall, Year 2): 9 Credits
Year 2, Fourth Semester (Spring, Year 2): 9 Credits
[APPROVED ELECTIVE COURSE] 3 Credits
MUSE 797 /MUSE 799 : Thesis Guidance / Thesis Defense 3/9* Credits
*NOTE: Upon achieving Master’s Candidacy, the student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for MUSE 797 (Thesis Guidance) until the Master’s Thesis is completed and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for review. The course is used only when the curriculum is near completion, and the student is completing the research and writing of the thesis. The course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student (student is registered for 3 credit hours and the system reports a full-time 9 credit hour load).
After the Intent to Defend the Master’s Thesis form has been accepted by the School of Graduate Studies, this course registration will be changed to MUSE 799 (Thesis Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (MUSE 799 will also count for 9 credit hours of load). Other courses cannot be substituted for MUSE 797 (Thesis Guidance). The only eligible grade for MUSE 797 (Thesis Guidance) is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for MUSE 799 (Thesis Defense) is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
