The purpose of this forum is to assist students with making steady progress toward earning a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. Students prepare a plan of action, engage in regular scholarly discussion with a faculty mentor and fellow doctoral students, and submit a personal progress report. Students submit drafts of Learning Agreements, Knowledge Area Modules (KAMs), and dissertations to the faculty mentor for feedback. Information and resources related to KAMs, dissertations, residencies, research and writing, courses, and doctoral program expectations are provided for guidance.
