First of a series of three doctoral seminars during which students articulate their educational goals and monitor their progress toward reaching those goals. The first course in this series will help students identify their strengths and challenges related to their educational, professional, and practice goals. In this course students will plan coursework to meet their goals.
  • SHRS-T 725 Professional Doctoral Seminar II (1 cr.) Second in a series of three seminars in which students monitor their educational goals in relationship to the program courses.
