The Graduate Faculty in SECD sets policy for the Doctoral Programs in Educational Studies and Human Sciences. A typical Program of Studies in Human Sciences or Educational Studies is 90 hours, minimally, and includes a minimum of 12 hours of dissertation (SLPA/SPED 999), 15 credit hours of research/evaluation, and 12 credit hours of doctoral seminar (SLPA/SPED 992).
The students' applications, award letters and required program documents are stored in locked cabinets in the Graduate Coordinator's office and/or in their permanent electronic student file which is saved on the secure and encrypted SECD server. Students can access any information in their files other than letters of recommendation submitted at the time of application to the program to which a student waived the right to access. No one other than the student themself and appropriate University personnel can access student files.
