FAQs
Does my whole committee have to sign the document? What if I don’t have a Degree Plan?
If you do not have a formal committee established by a Degree Plan, only the Department Head of both programs will need to sign. If you do have an established committee for your current program, they will need to sign in addition. The proposed committee for the secondary program does not need to sign.
Can a secondary curriculum change me from a 96 hour PhD program to a 64 hour PhD program?
Yes, if the PhD program approves. This option should be selected on the form.
