1 Curriculum Overview Theory and Practice of Professional Communication Degree Requirements Students in the TPPC program must complete a minimum of 60 approved semester credits beyond their master s degree. (Coursework used to fulfill the requirements of a master s degree may not be used to fulfill the requirements for this Ph.D. program.) With approval from their Supervisory Committees, students may complete up to 12 credit hours of their 7000-level coursework requirements via the English department's online graduate course offerings. According to the School of Graduate Studies, students have 8 years to finish their doctoral degree. However, this program is designed to be completed in 4 years.

Students are encouraged to select courses that will help them develop expertise in an area (either disciplinary or inter-disciplinary) that will complement their research and/or pedagogical goals. Students may also use these courses to identify an outside member of their dissertation committee. These fields include, but are not limited to, sociology, instructional technology, business information systems, speech communication, journalism and mass communication, women's studies, and natural resources. G. Dissertation (12 credits minimum required) ENGL 7970: ENGL 7990: Dissertation Research (required) Continuing Graduate Advisement H.

Coursework that is more than eight years old may not be used for a graduate degree. If permitted by the departmental or interdepartmental degree program policy, a supervisory committee may allow revalidation through testing, following a plan developed by the supervisory committee and approved by the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. The results must be verified in writing to the graduate dean by the student s major professor or other person(s) responsible for the testing. Work experience cannot be substituted for out-of-date coursework or used for revalidation. I. Residency Requirements A minimum of three consecutive semesters in residency is required by the USU School of

3 Graduate Studies, with a minimum of two semesters to be completed before enrollment for dissertation credits. J. Summer Credit Workshops Doctoral students may take one-week summer credit workshops at the master s (6000) level.

Students may only, with the approval of their supervisory committees, fulfill category requirements using master s courses.
