Suggested Curriculum Sequence
Plan of Study
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): 6/9 Credits
Note
If the student requires full-time status (i.e., 9 credit hours enrollment for this term), the student should sign up for PSYM 993. This course conveys full-time status to a doctoral student as a full-time student engaged in study prior to the achievement of doctoral candidacy. Students studying for comprehensive examinations or preparing for a proposal defense enroll in this course. This course is a non-curricular course and cannot be used as a program credit requirement. The student registers for 3 credit hours and the registration reports the full-time status of 9 graduate credit hours.
Year 1 and 2, 33 academic credit hours have been completed.
Year 3, Fifth Semester (Fall, Year 3): 3 Credits
Note
This course conveys full-time status to a doctoral student as a full-time student engaged in study prior to the achievement of doctoral candidacy. Students studying for comprehensive examinations or preparing for a proposal defense enroll in this course. This course is a non-curricular course and cannot be used as a program credit requirement. The student registers for 3 credit hours and the registration reports the full-time status of 9 graduate credit hours.
Year 3, Sixth Semester (Spring, Year 3): 3 Credits
Note
The student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for PSYM 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 PSYM 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 PSYM 998 (Dissertation Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (PSYM 998 will also count as 9 credits of load). PSYM 997 will not count toward curricular credits. Other courses cannot be substituted for PSYM 997 (Dissertation Guidance). The only eligible grade for PSYM 997 (Dissertation Guidance) is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for PSYM 998 (Dissertation Defense) is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
