Students
completing their 4th semester must file a Doctoral
Plan of Study with the Graduate College. This form lists the student’s
coursework and must be signed by Directors/Department Heads and Advisors
in the major and minor subject areas before submission. Students are required
to have a minimum of 36 units of course work in the major and 9 units
of course work in the minor. With the Minor Department’s approval,
six undergraduate 400 level units may be used in the minor area to satisfy
the minor requirement. A total of 12 units of graduate credit earned as
an undergraduate senior, and/or in graduate Non Degree Status may be applied
for credit toward a doctoral degree. At least 50% of the course work on
the Plan of Study must be graded A, B, or C.
The
Graduate College requires that two tenure or continuing track members
from another department be represented on all Ph.D. Advisory Committees.
These representatives recommend 9 units of course work in the minor subject
area based on the student’s individual interests. Requirements for
a specific minor subject area may change. Students should confer with
their Minor Advisory Committee Members or Department that represents the
minor subject for specific requirements.
Graduate
students may receive course work credit for independent
study projects and research by enrolling in various courses as described
briefly below. Independent Study information is found under the Special
Grades heading.
PL S/PL P 599 Independent work, which cannot be classified as actual research.
PL S/PL P 699 Rotations, first/second semester (Plant Sciences Degree Program).
PL S/PL P 900 Individual research not related to thesis or dissertation preparation.
PL S/PL P 920 Research for the doctoral dissertation. Total required and allowable
units =18.
PL S/PL P 930 Supplementary registration for students who have completed all course requirements or their advanced degree programs. May be used concurrently with other enrollments to bring total number of units to the required minimum.
Note: Students receive a K grade for 920 and/or 930 units, as it is assumed that work on the dissertation is continuing. At degree completion, the Ks are converted to an S or P grade. When registering, the section number is that of the faculty member and is obtained from the faculty member or in Forbes 319.
