English Graduate Information |
THIRD STAGE OF THE PH.D. PROGRAM When students pass the second qualifying examination, they advance to candidacy and receive the Candidate in Philosophy (C.Phil.) degree. Students proceed with preparing the dissertation and enroll each quarter in English 599 to reflect this ongoing research and writing. Students are encouraged to enroll in seminars in their field whenever they are offered. All course requirements (oral reports and term papers) may be satisfied through work connected with the dissertation. A final oral defense of the dissertation is optional, at the discretion of the doctoral committee, but is usually not required. Final approval of the dissertation is normally delegated to three certifying members of the doctoral committee (two from the English Department, and one from another department). TIME TO THE PH.D. DEGREE : Three quarters are normally allowed from the First Qualifying Examination to the Second Qualifying Examination. From the Second Qualifying Examination to the completion of the dissertation (and the degree), the time normally allowed is six quarters. From the time of admission, you will ideally be able to complete your doctoral studies within fifteen academic quarters (five years). TIME TO DEGREE SCHEDULE
*The Maximum means the maximum allowed by the department under normal circumstances. Students may petition for extensions needed because of unforeseen circumstances (such as ill health, family catastrophes, financial distress), but these petitions must be documented, and extensions will be granted for limited periods. |
