Continuous Enrollment

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Candidacy requires students to enroll continuously in an ED 901 , ED 902 , ED 903 , and ED 999 sequence of dissertation seminars for a minimum of 18 credits. The process of working on the dissertation should be a continuous one, and these courses are more in the nature of highly individualized independent studies than seminars. Students should observe the following sequence of registration for dissertation study:
