Milestone #7 - Taking Dissertation Credits

All PhD students are required to take 24 semester thesis credits (listed under NURS 8888—Thesis Credits: Doctoral) as part of their degree program. These 24 credits must be taken over two or more terms. Eligible students may take thesis credits during the summer term depending on the availability of their advisor.

Students may not enroll for thesis credits until the the preliminary oral exam has been recorded in the Graduate School’s record system. Talk to the DGS about taking NURS 8666 (predisseration credits) if coursework is completed but the preliminary oral exam is not.
