The doctoral program consists of three elements: coursework, candidacy examination, and dissertation. After completion of coursework, students are required to take candidacy examinations to determine that they have adequate knowledge to complete the required doctoral dissertation. The dissertation is expected to contribute significantly to the body of knowledge in the candidate’s area of study and to merit publication. Candidates are required to defend the dissertation in an oral examination, in accordance with requirements established by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research.
