The doctoral program spans four years, structured around coursework and a thesis requirement. Candidates must successfully complete both written and oral comprehensive exams during their initial two years. The thesis represents the pinnacle of academic work, demanding original research contributions. Prospective students should first identify a faculty advisor and collaboratively develop a research proposal, including potential thesis topics, prior to program admission. Faculty research specialties heavily influence this initial selection process.
Our department is actively enhancing its research capabilities, with graduate students serving as vital contributors to this initiative. The majority of faculty members secure either external or institutional funding to advance their research projects.
Historically, graduate degrees recognize the completion of an approved thesis. This approach embodies core academic values while maintaining connections with undergraduate education. Thesis development cultivates essential liberal arts competencies - including critical analysis, idea synthesis, empirical research, argument formulation, and scholarly writing - across all disciplines.
