Five concentrations are available to students. In order to fulfill the requirements for these concentrations, electives (18 credit hours required) must come from the lists below. If a course is not listed, approval from the Director of the Doctoral Program is necessary in order for it to count towards the required elective credit hours. To get approval, the student must send the course name, course number (must be 5000, 6000, or 7000 level. Note: 48 of 60 hours must be at 6000 level or above) and a syllabus to the Director of the Doctoral Program at least 3 weeks before the start of the semester. The Director will reach out to the appropriate Directors to gain approval for each course.
The Advisor will have a meeting with each student in the cohort during their first semester in the program. Students should also meet with the Graduate Program Director in their selected doctoral concentration area to guide planning for courses and research interests.
