Plan of Studies

The Ph.D. degree with a major in education is pursued under the direction of a committee appointed by the University Graduate School and the School of Education. As with other Graduate School doctoral programs, a minimum of 90 credit hours of course work is required. This includes a major (selected from the fields of study listed previously), a minor, a series of research courses, and a dissertation. Written and oral qualifying examinations are taken following course work; a final oral defense of the dissertation completes the program. Up to 30 credit hours of graduate course work may be transferred from other universities, with the approval of the advisory committee and the Graduate Studies Office.

Admission

Admission recommendations are made by program area and School of Education admission committees and are based on graduate and undergraduate grades (especially in academic courses), scores on the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and letters of recommendation. The TOEFL examination is required for all international applicants. Online applications may be accessed through the School of Education Office of Graduate Studies Web site at the above URL.

Students earning a Ph.D. degree in education must fulfill all requirements of the University Graduate School (as found in this bulletin) and of the School of Education (as found in the School of Education Graduate Bulletin).

Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology

The Ph.D. program in counseling psychology is accredited by the American Psychological Association. Graduates of this program are prepared to work as psychologists and administrators in mental health centers, in college counseling centers, and in business and industry; as college faculty members; as private practitioners; and in other positions where counseling psychology competencies are needed. The doctoral program in counseling psychology includes courses in the following areas: (1) psychological measurement, statistics, and research design; (2) biological, cognitive, affective, social, and individual bases of behavior; (3) course work leading to competence in an area of specialization; and (4) intervention strategies and service delivery systems. The application deadline is December 1 for matriculation in the fall semester.

The intent of the sequence of courses in the major area is to help ground students in counseling psychology and prepare them as effective scientist- practitioners. Courses from related areas of study may be added if their relevance to the major can be demonstrated, and if approval is secured.

Degree Requirements

Major Requirements (36 cr.)

These courses must be approved on the Plan of Studies by the student’s doctoral advisory committee, Department Chair, and the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies.

Inquiry Requirements (15 cr.)

The Inquiry Core includes a survey course in research methodologies, and beginning courses in statistics, measurement, program evaluation, or in ethnographic, qualitative, quantitative, and historical research methods. Inquiry Core courses are to lay a rudimentary methodological foundation for applied inquiry courses in the major, and for dissertation research.

Minor Requirements (12 cr.)

The minor must have integrity in its own right and must complement the major. The minor field must demonstrate wholeness within itself and contribute to the student's overall doctoral program. Minors are normally formulated within a single program area. However, an interdisciplinary or individualized minor is also possible. Interdisciplinary or individualized minors require a written description of the minor's underlying theme along with a rationale for each course's contribution to that theme through the Minor Justification form. This form should be submitted and approved by the Graduate Studies Office prior to enrolling in the minor courses. Major area courses may not be used in the minor.

Elective Requirements (6 cr. minimum)

The School of Education requires a minimum of 6 elective credit hours intended to ensure that students have flexibility in their programs from stipulating all of the minimum 90 credit hours of the doctoral program. It is expected that most students will have more than six elective credit hours. It should also be noted that at least 27 hours in the student's program must come from outside the major.

Dissertation Requirements (15 cr.)

G795 Dissertation Proposal Preparation (3 cr.)
G799 Doctoral Thesis in Counseling Psychology (12 cr.)

Ph.D. in Inquiry Methodology

The Ph.D. Inquiry Methodology Program is dedicated to the advancement of social and behavioral research by critically evaluating, improving, and developing methodological theory and methodologies so that phenomena of interest can be more soundly investigated and better understood. Students can choose to focus on a quantitative, qualitative, or an integrated program of study. The program is designed to be flexible enough to handle a wide variety of student interests (e.g., statistical modeling, measurement, advanced psychometrics, methodological theory, evaluation, ethnography, philosophy of social science, hermeneutic-reconstructive analysis, discourse and narrative analysis, critical ethnography and feminist research), but rigorous so as to ensure that its graduates can meaningfully contribute to the study of social and behavioral research.

Degree Requirements

Major Requirements (39 cr. minimum)

These courses must be approved on the Plan of Studies by the student’s doctoral advisory committee, Department Chair, and the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies. The courses in the major should include:

Inquiry Core Courses (9 cr.)
Qualitative, Quantitative or Integrated Track (30 cr.)

Minor Requirements (12-18 cr.)

The minor must have integrity in its own right and must complement the major. The minor field must demonstrate wholeness within itself and contribute to the student's overall doctoral program. Minors are normally formulated within a single program area. However, an interdisciplinary or individualized minor is also possible. Interdisciplinary or individualized minors require a written description of the minor's underlying theme along with a rationale for each course's contribution to that theme through the Minor Justification form. This form should be submitted and approved by the Graduate Studies Office prior to enrolling in the minor courses.

Students will select a minor field of study to complement their study of inquiry methodology. Because inquiry methodology interfaces with substantive areas of study it is important for students in inquiry methodology to develop understandings in at least one such area so that they grasp the complexity of methodology in use. The minor serves to develop students’ substantive area of interest. Major area courses (those within the Inquiry Methodology program) may not be used in the minor.

Elective Requirements (6 cr. minimum)

Educational research is multidisciplinary in nature, and students have a broad range of research interests and career plans which requires flexibility for their programs of studies. The program, therefore, enables students to tailor their electives in consultation with their Advisory Committees.

Electives may be taken in fields inside or outside the School of Education. Students may take electives in any area of interest to complement their program of study.
