The Ph.D. degree stresses skills in problem definition, while also providing skills in analyses and presentation of original research results. The student, major professor and committee develop plans of study. Excellent math and statistical foundations are expected, as are strong courses in the area of the dissertation research. Typically, twenty-four hours (and six hours of dissertation research) are required in addition to the Masters coursework. However, committees have some discretion.
