After passing the qualifying exam, students will register for dissertation and research credits for as many times as needed to fulfill the 54-credit requirement.

At least nine (9) credits are required for each academic term. Students are required to maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 in Ph.D. courses and a grade below a C will result in the student repeating the course or, if the course is an elective, enrolling in and passing another elective.

Ninety (90) Ph.D. credits are required to obtain the Doctor of Philosophy degree (36 credits of coursework and 54 credits of research).
