What are the residency requirements for the Professional Doctorate program?
Professional Doctorate students must complete four residencies prior to entrance into candidacy for the doctoral degree. Each residency is a one credit course (IST880) for which registration is required. Normally, a student will complete his or her comprehensive examination during the fourth residency. The Professional Doctorate Director plans and conducts two residencies each year, one at the beginning of the fall semester and one at the end of the spring semester. The residencies will span four days and all Professional Doctorate students are required to be present for the entire session.
