minimum of hundred twenty double spaced pages. The master's candidate
will present a minimum sixty double spaced pages of research to the Dean. After the
research has been reviewed and accepted by the Dean, the research will be
the basis for the questions to be asked at the oral examination.
The candidate will appear before a panel of experts,
including the Dean, for the project oral examination which lasts one and a
half to three hours. The University has determined that a superior approach
to the traditional academic format is to have two or three candidates appear
together. The result is a non-competitive atmosphere where examiners and
candidates have the opportunity to exchange ideas and information. An
environment eliminating the focus upon a sole candidate reduces stress and
enables the examiners to better judge the qualifications of those seeking
their degree. Reasearch and Design II is 3
credits. Doctoral candidates will receive 6 credits and, master's
candidates 3 credits for completion of this course.
