Metro IV-B Ed.D. Handbook
for students entering summer 2004

Approval of Program Plan

The degree program is filed with the Graduate School, typically at the beginning of the third year of study. It must be approved at least one semester before the preliminary oral exam. The form identifies all the courses the student has been and will be taking for the Ed.D. program. Also identified are the faculty members who will serve as the adviser(s) and as committee members.

The cohort director provides direction and guidance for completing the program form to all cohort members, typically as part of the Candidacy Orientation in the spring of the second year. Individual students then continue to work on their program plan with their thesis adviser and submit the form in the fall of the third year.
