What are the English Departments requirements for I-PhD students?
Doctoral students in the English Department are expected to meet all of the School of Graduate Studies’ requirements. The only required course in English is Introduction to Graduate Studies, ENGLISH 5500. Other coursework needs are decided upon in cooperation with members of your committee and will be listed in your plan of study. It is important to realize that the interdisciplinary nature of doctoral study at UMKC requires considerable initiative on the student’s part. Because you are required to fulfill the requirements of more than one discipline, you will need to take an active role in developing a plan of study that meets the demands of each discipline.
