3 6) PhD Program Curriculum and Course Descriptions

Transcription

1 3 6) PhD Program Curriculum and Course Descriptions Prerequisites for PhD Program: Completion of a thesis or thesis equivalent project is a prerequisite for the PhD program. If a thesis was not completed as a part of the MS program, a thesis or equivalent must be completed in addition to the minimum 60 credit hours past the MS degree. Students who have a MS degree in an area related to their specialization area may be required by their committee to take certain prerequisite or leveling courses. Graduate students are encouraged to consult their departmental handbook/materials for details pertaining to prerequisite requirements. Plan of Study (Course Requirements) for PhD Program: 60 hours past the MS degree 1) Specialization Area credit hours Includes major and supporting area 2) Human Environmental Sciences 3 credit hours = HES 6993: Graduate Seminar in Human Environmental Sciences 3) Research Support Courses credit hours Includes intermediate and advanced statistics; advanced research methods 4) Dissertation (15 credit hours) PhD Student Competencies (for all HES PhD students): Concepts from the college mission statements are woven into the doctoral curriculum. 1. Doctoral students will gain experience in Generating Knowledge, Sharing Knowledge, Community Engagement, and Resource Generation, as well as their major and supporting content areas (please refer to Figure 1). 2. To develop competence PhD students will participate in Sharing Knowledge, Community Engagement, and Resource Generation activities. (Examples given in Figure 1 are illustrative rather than prescriptive.) Additionally, a doctoral student is expected to engage in all of the activities listed under Generating Knowledge. Each department will develop an acceptable means to accomplish these goals. Recognizing the importance of accountability, the student (in consultation with his/her committee) will document the necessary experiences to be completed during the doctoral program in order to achieve competence. A worksheet outlining these experiences will be attached to the department s copy of the student s plan of study. The annual doctoral review will serve as a mechanism to gauge the student s progress. By the end of their program, the PhD student should develop a portfolio that documents his/her accomplishments relative to these experiences. 1

2 3. The notion of reflective practice, that is, observation and reflection plus practice, critique and reflection, will permeate HES doctoral students experiences. Instilling this concept in doctoral students facilitates an understanding that reflective practice is another method of learning in addition to reading the scholarly literature, attending conferences, etc. 4. Recognizing the importance of technology, the departments and college will incorporate technology into the entire doctoral program. The college goal is to produce graduates capable of using state ofthe art technology in support of their professional careers. Qualifying Exams: The qualifying examination is comprehensive, covering the full scope of the student's graduate study. The examination consists of both written and oral components. In order to take the qualifying examination, the student must have an approved Plan of Study on file in the Graduate College and have the approval of the advisory committee. Each department has its own method and timing for conducting qualifying exams. Students are encouraged to consult their department s handbook/materials for details. Questions generally cover the student s specific area of study; research methodology; statistics; and human environmental sciences. Written Qualifying Examinations DHM: Qualifying exams scheduled during early March. HDFS: Qualifying exams given in January and August during the weeks prior to fall and spring semesters. HRAD: Flexible scheduling for qualifying exams. NSCI: Flexible scheduling for qualifying exams; specific dates and times are determined by the student s advisory committee. Oral Qualifying Examinations The oral examination provides an opportunity for the student to clarify information and respond to follow up questions from the written exam and/or other questions. The oral examination provides another opportunity to assess the student s ability. The student must receive a pass on all parts of the qualifying examination. In case of failure to pass any part of the qualifying exam, the student will be notified in writing of the conditions under which another examination can be taken. In accordance with OSU Graduate College requirements, students who do not pass the qualifying examination may retake the exam after a four month waiting period, and only two attempts are allowed. Students who retake written qualifying exam questions must submit a notification to the Graduate Coordinator of plans to retake the exam. In a second attempt to pass the qualifying exams, students are required to retake content areas failed on the first attempt. Content areas passed on the first attempt are not retaken during the second attempt. 2

3 Any student who does not pass the qualifying examination after two attempts will be dismissed from the doctoral program. Ordinarily the student must pass the qualifying examination before dissertation data collection can begin. The advisor can recommend to the advisory committee that this requirement be waived. The qualifying examination must be passed at least six months before the degree is granted. The results of the examination are reported to the Graduate College on the Admission to Candidacy form. Formal Dissertation Proposal: The doctoral student demonstrates his/her ability to apply foundational knowledge to a research problem by developing a quality dissertation proposal. The dissertation proposal is presented in three chapters (which become the first three chapters of the dissertation in the traditional format or the appendices in a manuscript style dissertation). The dissertation proposal should include the following: statement of the research problem justification for the research problem theoretical foundations of the proposed study (if applicable) concepts and constructs (if applicable) an integrative literature review research hypotheses methods and procedures plan for analysis Once the advisory committee approves the formal dissertation proposal, the committee members sign a sheet verifying the proposal was approved. The student submits a copy of the signed sheet to the departmental office and submits an electronic copy of the approved proposal to each member of the advisory committee. Data collection may occur only after the formal dissertation proposal is approved by the student s advisory committee and after the student receives IRB/IACUC approval. (The doctoral student and advisor should submit the IRB/IACUC application and research protocol after committee approval of the proposal and after human subject/animal use training is completed). Admission to Doctoral Candidacy: To be admitted to candidacy, a doctoral student must have: (1) an approved Plan of Study on file with the Graduate College, (2) a dissertation proposal approved by the student s advisory committee, and (3) passed the qualifying examination. A doctoral student must be admitted to candidacy at least six months prior to completing degree requirements. After completing the above stated criteria, the student obtains the Admission to Doctoral Candidacy form from the Graduate College and completes the basic information. After requesting and securing signatures from the advisory committee members, the student then submits the form for signature to the department head and Dean of the 3

4 Graduate College. Once the form is signed by the Dean of the Graduate College, the student is a doctoral candidate. Responsibilities of PhD Students: 1. Read thoroughly: a. OSU Catalog Graduate College, General Regulations & Academic Regulations b. College of Human Environmental Sciences Graduate Student Handbook c. Departmental Handbook, if available 2. With the assistance of your advisor: a. Plan each semester s enrollment b. Determine research interest area c. Organize advisory committee by end of first year d. Develop and submit Plan of Study by end of first year e. Plan advisory committee meetings f. Develop and submit PhD annual review materials g. Develop the dissertation proposal h. If required, obtain IRB/IACUC approval for research proposal i. Complete data collection and research for dissertation 3. When enrolling for the semester in which the degree will be conferred, recheck Plan of Study. (All coursework on the POS must be present on the OSU transcript.) 4. Meet Graduate College deadline dates in the current OSU Catalog regarding: a. Admission to Doctoral Candidacy form b. Graduation Clearance form c. Revised Plan of Study form d. Diploma Application e. Draft of Dissertation f. Oral Defense Results form g. Final submission of Dissertation Advisor and Advisory Committee: When selecting a faculty member to serve as the major advisor, the doctoral student considers specializations of the department s faculty members in relation to the student s goals and emphases, faculty loads, and preference of the student. The major advisor of the advisory committee must be a member of the Graduate Faculty who has been granted the privilege of chairing doctoral committees. Selection of the advisory committee is initiated by the student and the advisor. An advisory committee of not fewer than four voting members will be appointed. The duties of the advisory committee consist of (1) advising the student, (2) assisting the student in preparing a plan of study, (3) preparing and administering the qualifying examination, (4) assisting in planning and conducting the research, (5) supervising the writing of the dissertation, and (6) conducting the dissertation defense. The student should consult the members of the advisory committee frequently and keep them informed on the progress of his or her work. Each doctoral committee must have at least one member of the Graduate Faculty from outside the student's major department. 4
