The essential requirement for the degree of PhD is the planning, execution, and reporting of high quality research. A candidacy examination is taken normally within 20 months after admission to the program, to ensure that a student has the necessary knowledge, background, and ability to complete a PhD thesis. At least 18 units of course work beyond the undergraduate degree is required. At least 9 units of the required course work must be taken at the University of Alberta. Not more than 6 units of the University of Alberta courses may be taken from the same instructor, except with permission of the Department. Normally, not more than 3 units of course work may be at the 400-level within the Department and only one (3-unit) research or reading (directed studies) course may be counted towards the requirement. |
