How many hours (or years usually) are needed for graduation?
A typical student completes our PhD program in 5 or 6 years — shorter is possible, longer is discouraged. Can your graduate program be completed on an evening/night or part-time basis? Our Ph.D. Program is a full-time, day program. All of our graduate courses are offered between the hours of 9am-6pm. Can I select the faculty member I wish to serve as my primary mentor during my graduate career? If you are accepted into our graduate program, you will be assigned a faculty mentor based upon mutual interests and availability. But one of the advantages of our program is that we encourage our students to network with several faculty during their graduate career. This may mean that your initial faculty-student pairing may change as you move through the program.
