Specialized Sequence:
Students, in consultation with their advisors, may design their own methodology sequence. This is particularly suited to humanistic scholarship in education (e.g., history or philopshy of education). To complete a specialized sequence, students must take three methodology courses relevant to their research interest. Specialized research plans are approved by the Graduate Studies Committee.
Choose one of the following courses: (choose two courses if any of required courses were taken as part of Master’s degree)
Under the supervision of faculty, students are required to take nine credit hours of work focused on the preparation of conference presentations and/or publications, or on intensive study relevant to the dissertation.
Candidacy:
Notification of Doctoral Candidacy Exam Form: http://gradforms.osu.edu
All students who successfully complete the doctoral candidacy examination will be required to be enrolled in every semester of their candidacy (summer session excluded) until graduation. Students must be enrolled for three credits per semester. While the Graduate School and the individual graduate programs will monitor the enrollment of all post-candidacy students, it ultimately will be the responsibility of each student to ensure that they are meeting the enrollment provisions of this policy. Continuous Enrollment Policy is located at https://gradsch.osu.edu/handbook/all#7-8. Look at section 7.8.3 – 7.8.6.
