Sample Ph.D. Programs

The course requirements for the Ph.D. are purposefully flexible, so that many programs can be designed for different areas of research. If you are not sure of your area of interest, here is a sample program (one of many) for the first year that offers a good sampling of several areas within the department. Your plan of study should be designed with the help of your academic advisor and with an eye on the requirements.

If you have an area of interest, the following links provide sample programs (many variations are possible). Still, plan your study with the help of your academic advisor and with an eye on the requirements.
