Earning a doctoral degree depends on showing competence and expertise in both primary and related fields, rather than just accumulating a set number of credit hours. Numerous deviations from the standard course selection are permissible, particularly when students engage in self-directed learning or focus on unique projects or investigations. Following discussions with their advisor, students should choose courses that will effectively prepare them for their comprehensive preliminary exams.
