Requirements
Students must complete at least 60 semester hours of graduate
work beyond the M.A. The curriculum must be planned with
the adviser and must include at least 15 semester hours
in the School of Art and Art History, 15 semester hours
in art education graduate seminars, 15 semester hours in
a related area (e.g., aesthetics, anthropology, higher education,
psychology, sociology), and 15 semester hours in thesis
and tool courses (07S:306 or 07E:306 Introduction to Research
in Art Education).
Students
must take both oral and written comprehensive examinations.
The written examination consists of an in-depth research
problem to be completed within 14 days, after which an oral
examination on the project is held. The research problem
is assigned by the examining committee, and the written
portion of the examination is not intended to relate directly
to the student's dissertation proposal.
Students
also must complete a written dissertation for at least 12
semester hours of credit and are expected to prepare a dissertation
proposal and defend it before the dissertation committee.
An oral examination on the dissertation is the Ph.D. final
examination.
