Sample Plan
(for illustration purposes only)
The following is a sample doctoral program plan for a full-time student. Part-time students will take 6 hours per semester instead of 9. Therefore, they will use the first year to take electives and complete statistics. Thus, they will add an additional year onto the program. The Ph.D. program is currently offered at the Denton Campus and Houston Center, with many courses online.
