Students writing an Applied Doctoral Project (ADP) must complete a minimum of 5 credits by registering for five terms of ADP courses, 1 credit per course. Students will work with their doctoral committee members to complete milestones in each course resulting in a doctoral project centered on rigorous, ethical research that makes a meaningful contribution to the student's professional field of study. To successfully complete the ADP course sequence, the required milestones for each course must be met within the designated time frame.
*Students satisfactorily progressing (PR) through the ADP experience, but not meeting the required milestones in the designated timeframe, will be allowed two reenrollments in the same ADP course. Students must earn a (P) in subsequent reenrollments or receive a not progressing grade (NP). Three NP grades earned will result in dismissal from the University and will require an approved appeal to reenter the program. For complete policies regarding doctoral degree completion and research requirements, see the Applied Doctoral Project and the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbooks.
