The credits required
for each category or coursework are the minimum number of credits.
Doctoral students are encouraged to take what courses they need to in order
to become expert in their field. The basic course work includes up to 30 hours from a master's degree, a minimum of 30 hours of coursework for the Ph.D. and 30 dissertation hours.
Some coursework may be transferred from other universities with advisor approval, as long as they are taken from approved colleges or universities.
Sixty percent or more of doctoral coursework must be 800 and above (not counting dissertation hours).
Taking courses from other universities*: It may be helpful to you as you design your doctoral program to locate some courses that are offered closer to you or online. One place you may find such courses is the University of Nebraska: http://extended.unl.edu/gradprograms/catalog.shtml. Remember that you may transfer into your KSU program only 10 hours, and these should be first approved by your advisor. The survey research course is no longer available from KSU. It should be taken from the University of Nebraska.
