The curriculum of this doctoral program is designed to be completed within 6 semesters or 3 years. The program must be completed in less than five years. Doctoral students are required to take fundamental courses during semesters 1 and 2 and in-depth courses during semesters 3 – 4. During the first year they are also expected to write a research proposal. The qualifying exam will be conducted at the end of the second semester. Students must present their research proposal and demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the research area. Students must have passed the qualifying exam within two years. The research will continue through the following semester. Each semester students must submit and present a research progress report. After submitting a dissertation report, doctoral candidates will undergo a series of examinations in order to defend their research.
