The Ph.D.

The requirements for the Ph.D. include 36 credits (12 courses), a student portfolio, and a dissertation, all of which should be completed in five years. Students admitted directly into the Ph.D. program will receive an M.A. when they satisfactorily complete the Research Tutorial and eight other courses. Doctoral students with fellowships will normally be expected to work as teaching assistants in undergraduate courses and participate in the Ph.D.@Work internship program.
