Credit Requirements for PhD For all students admitted after Fall 2009
Following completion of the first year of GMB requirements (semesters 1 and 2 in table below), GMB students are admitted into Advanced Standing.
After admission into Advanced Standing GMB students must complete 48 additional hours of credit. A minimum of 16 hours of course work must be included in this 48. (IBS 606 (Values in Science) and TATT 600/605 do not count towards the 16 hours of course work). The remainder can be derived from Dissertation Research (GMB 799r) or Independent Study (GMB 797r).
To be awarded a PhD, students must submit and successfully publicly defend a doctoral dissertation.
