The project and the required oral examination are constructed to test the candidate’s
knowledge and competencies as a practitioner in his or her
profession.
Research and Design I, II and the Project
The candidates will discuss with the Dean
their areas of interest. Books, journals and other material
will be reviewed. The project will be preceded by an
outline. The outline will be the basis for the written
project. For the doctoral candidates the completion of the
outline will complete the course work for Reseach and Design
I, II. For the master's candidates the completion of the
outline will complete the course work for Research and
Design I From these coursework, questions to be asked
at the oral examination will be developed. Where
appropriate, case studies may be the major content for the
examination.
The object of the courses is to enhance the
research and design abilities of the candidates. Both
primary and secondary research techniques and competencies
will be enhanced through the development of the project.
The result of this research will be the foundation and the
design for the project to be approved by the Dean.
The Doctoral candidate will present to the
Dean a minimum of one hundred and twenty annotated pages of
double-spaced research pages and a bibliography. The
master's candidate will present to the Dean an annotated
outline of sixty double spaced pages. 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 Oral Examination
The candidate will appear before a panel of
experts, including the Dean, for the project oral
examination lasting one and one 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.
