Suggested Curriculum Sequence
The typical plan of study requires enrollment in a minimum of nine (9) credit hours per term to remain full-time. Not every course is offered every term, and the following plan of study is an illustration. At the initial conference with an advisor, 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 thesis/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. 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
Year 3, Fifth Semester (Fall, Year 3): 9 Credits
Year 3, Sixth Semester (Spring, Year 3): 3/9 Credits
Note
The student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for SOWK 997 (Dissertation Guidance) until the Dissertation is completed and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for review. The course is used only when the curriculum has been completed and the student is completing the research and writing of the Dissertation. The SOWK 997 course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student (student registers for 3 credit hours each semester, but is acknowledged as having a 9 credit hour load).
After the Intent to Defend the Dissertation form has been received by the School of Graduate Studies, this course registration will be changed to SOWK 998 (Dissertation Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (SOWK 998 will also count as 9 credits of load). SOWK 997 will not count toward curricular credits. Other courses cannot be substituted for SOWK 997 (Dissertation Guidance). The only eligible grade for SOWK 997 (Dissertation Guidance) is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for SOWK 998 (Dissertation Defense) is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
