Students must complete 72 credit hours of coursework, with up to 30 hours from prior graduate degree programs in the field counting toward the final requirement. They must also complete three six-hour semesters or two nine-hour semesters at the school within an 18-month period, none of which can be completed through correspondence or off-campus programs.
The final examination is a defense of the student's doctoral dissertation. In this exam, students defend the research they completed during the degree program to committee members.
