DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

The Committee of Faculty offers aninterdisciplinary graduate programleading to the Ph.D. degree in Commu-nication. Concentrations are availablein communicative development, inter-cultural communication, and organiza-tional communication.

The program is designed to preparescholars for research-oriented careers inuniversities and in the public or privatesectors. Students are provided training

in communication theory, researchmethodology, and a specialization inone or more areas of concentration.The goal of the program is to meet theneeds of students whose interests tran-scend traditional disciplinary bound-aries.

See pages 120–122 for general re-quirements.

Admission Requirements. Admissionto the program is competitive. Appli-cations are considered once a year forfall admission.

All application materials must be inthe program office by January 1 to beconsidered. Late applications are notprocessed.

Supervisory/Dissertation Committee.This committee consists of a chair andat least two other members appointedby the dean of the Graduate Collegebased upon the director’s recommenda-tion. The chair of the committee, whoserves as the student’s advisor, must beknowledgeable in the student’s area ofconcentration, have an active researchagenda, publish regularly in appropriaterefereed academic journals, and be ex-perienced in graduate education. Mem-bers of the committee must representmore than one academic discipline.The purpose of the committee is toguide the student through the comple-tion of the program of study, the com-prehensive examinations, and the dis-sertation research.

Areas of Concentration. Students ad-mitted to the program select a formalarea of concentration in any of the threebroad areas of communicative develop-ment, intercultural communication, andorganizational communication. How-ever, the interdisciplinary nature of theprogram and breadth of its faculty al-low students to design individual pro-grams of study geared toward morespecialized topics in human communi-cation. As a rule, these cut across theformal areas of concentration andclosely follow the areas of expertise ofprogram faculty. Program graduatesstudy areas such as: interpersonal com-munication, organizational communica-tion, performance studies, rhetoric,critical/cultural studies, relational com-munication, and information technol-ogy. Contact the director for an up-to-date list of program faculty and theirareas of interest.Communicative Development. Thisarea of concentration includes the studyof communicative behaviors and func-tions as they evolve and change overtime. Students in this area study therole of communication in interpersonalprocesses such as interpersonal rela-tional and family development, aging,persuasion, and issues of identity.

Intercultural Communication. Thetheoretical relationship between cultureand communication is the focus of thisarea of concentration. Students in thisarea study the effects of cultural/ethnicdifferences and similarities on a widerange of communication processes.Students may also explore the com-munication of culture and ethnicity.Organizational Communication. Thisarea of concentration examines the roleof communicative processes and sys-tems in public and private organiza-tions with an emphasis on the interac-tion between organizational partici-pants and organizational structures,practices, informational channels, net-works, and message forms.

Because of the interdisciplinary na-ture of the Ph.D. program, studentsmay explore relevant course work indisciplines such as communication, so-cial and development psychology, fam-ily studies, educational psychology,cultural anthropology, comparative so-ciology, linguistics, justice studies, in-dustrial psychology, management, andpublic administration, among others.

Program of Study. If the student hascompleted an appropriate master’s de-gree, the Ph.D. requires a minimum of60 hours beyond the master’s degree.Course work for a typical program ofstudy is distributed as follows: re-quired core courses (12 semesterhours), area of concentration (24 se-mester hours), dissertation (COM 799)and research (COM 792) (24 semesterhours) for a total of 60 hours (mini-mum). A sequence of four interdisci-plinary theory and methodologycourses are required of all students en-tering the program. The required the-ory courses are COM 601, Multidis-ciplinary Perspectives in Research inCommunication, and COM 604, The-ory Construction in Communication.In addition, students must take two ofthe three methods courses, which con-sist of COM 607, Contemporary Rhe-torical Methods, COM 608, Multivari-ate Statistical Analysis of Data in Com-munication, and COM 609, AdvancedQualitative Research Methods in Com-munication.

In addition to successfully complet-ing the required courses, each student isrequired to participate in a research col-loquium during each semester of resi-dence.

The student is also required to dem-onstrate proficiency in research meth-ods (statistics, computer languages,content analysis methods, foreign lan-guage, participant observation, etc.)which, in the judgment of the supervi-sory committee, is needed for thestudent’s dissertation research. Evi-dence of required proficiency may bedemonstrated by established universityexamination procedures or by success-ful completion of a sequence of coursesdesignated by the student’s programcommittee.

For students who have completedonly the bachelor’s degree before ad-mission to the Ph.D. program, a mini-mum of 84 hours of interdisciplinarygraduate work is required for the pro-gram, with the same 60-hour require-ment for students with the master’s de-gree. The initial course work for stu-dents admitted with only a bachelor’sdegree is similar to the M.A. degree re-quirements in Communication, exceptthat no thesis is required. These re-quirements include a general overviewof research in communication (COM501), an overview of theories and mod-els of communication (COM 504), astatistics course (COM 508), and elec-tives from communication or other dis-ciplines to total 24 hours of coursework. The methods, theory, and statis-tics courses must be completed beforebeginning the required theory andmethodology sequence for the Ph.D.(i.e., they are prerequisites for the re-quired courses).

Foreign Language Requirements.None.

Comprehensive Examinations. Uponcompletion of course work and beforethe formal approval of the dissertationproposal, the student is examined in therelevant area of concentration and re-search methods. The examination con-sists of both written and oral compo-nents designed to test the student’s in-terdisciplinary knowledge in the fieldand chosen area of concentration andthe student’s readiness to undertake in-terdisciplinary dissertation research.The examination is conducted by thestudent’s supervisory committee.

Admission to Candidacy. After thestudent has passed both the written andoral portions of the comprehensive ex-amination and the student’s dissertationtopic has been approved, the studentmay apply to the Graduate College for

MASTER OF FINE ARTS

One of the unique features of thisinterdisciplinary program is that,because it utilizes faculty research,creative activity, and teaching interestsof two academic units, a student maytailor a course of study to fit individualneeds, talents, and goals. TheDepartment of English administers theprogram and reviews the applicationsfor admission. In the EnglishDepartment, the studio/academicprogram requires poets and prosewriters to divide work equally betweenwriting workshops and literaturecourses. This flexible curriculumallows candidates time to study withseveral gifted writers and scholars in astimulating atmosphere, time to getquality advice on writing, and time toexplore and develop their talents. Inthe Department of Theatre, the studio/academic program emphasizes thecollaborative process of playwriting.Working with actors and directors,playwrights’ workshops includeinformal readings, staged readings andworkshop production of students’ plays.

Research and creative activity is en-hanced by vigorous faculty and studentinvolvement in producing a national lit-erary magazine, Hayden’s Ferry Re-view, an ASU student publication. Cre-ative writing faculty and graduate stu-dents participate in public outreach pro-grams, including workshops at ASU foradults and high school students in ruraland metropolitan areas of the region.Public lectures and readings by facultymembers, original play productions and

The Interdisciplinary Committee onCurriculum and Instruction offers aninterdisciplinary graduate programleading to the Ph.D. degree in Curricu-lum and Instruction. The interdiscipli-nary committee sets guidelines and su-pervises programs of study.

Areas of concentration, with somesubspecializations, follow:

Curriculum studiesEarly childhood educationEducational media and computersElementary education

language educationscience education

English educationExercise and wellness educationMusic educationPhysical educationReading educationScience educationSpecial education

giftedmild disabilitiesmulticultural exceptionalsevere disabilities

One of the unique features of this in-terdisciplinary program is that, becauseit utilizes faculty research and teachinginterests from a number of academicunits, a student may work in concertwith the program committee to tailor acourse of study to fit individual needsand goals.

The interdisciplinary committee setsguidelines and supervises programs ofstudy, while an executive committee,appointed by the dean of the College ofEducation and the dean of the GraduateCollege, has primary responsibility forthe operation of the program. It iscomposed of faculty representing thevarious concentrations.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

The Ph.D. degree in Curriculum andInstruction is an individualized interdis-ciplinary degree that integrates gradu-

ate courses from a variety of academicunits. This course work provides a sub-stantive knowledge base in the concen-tration area and a sound foundation forresearch leading to a dissertation.

See pages 120–122 for general re-quirements.

Admission. In addition to meetingminimum Graduate College admissionrequirements, each applicant must pro-vide the following:

1. a letter of career goals and state-ment of reasons for seeking the in-terdisciplinary Ph.D. in Curriculumand Instruction,

2. Graduate Record Examination(GRE) verbal and quantitative testscores,

3. a sample of written work, and4. three academic letters of recom-

mendation.

One year of full-time teaching expe-rience at the appropriate level, or itsequivalent, is strongly recommended.In the absence of prior teaching experi-ence, a teaching internship is requiredbut may not be counted toward thePh.D. degree.

Admission decisions are based uponthe compatibility of the applicant’s ca-reer goals with the purpose of the de-gree program, previous academic train-ing and performance, GRE scores, let-ters of recommendation, and the avail-ability of a potential mentor in thecandidate’s concentration area. Itshould be noted that, because of enroll-ment limits, applicants who meet mini-mum requirements are not automati-cally admitted.

Program Committee. The programcommittee, consisting of a chair and atleast two other members, oversees thepreparation of the initial program ofstudy and the preparation and evalua-tion of the comprehensive examination.Although the program committee mayconsist of only three members for earlyadvisement, it must have at least fivemembers for the administration andevaluation of the comprehensive ex-amination, three of whom must bemembers of the interdisciplinary com-mittee and two of whom must be ex-perts in the student’s area of concentra-tion. At least one member of the pro-gram committee must be a facultymember of the Division of Curriculumand Instruction. The committee must

176

be approved by the dean of the Gradu-ate College.

The program committee and the stu-dent must decide on the area of concen-tration and cognate area to be includedin the student’s comprehensive exami-nation. They also must develop a pro-gram of study to establish a profes-sional knowledge base and methods ofinquiry and analytical tools for re-search.

Dissertation Committee. After pass-ing the comprehensive examination, adissertation committee is formed, uponthe approval of the dean of the Gradu-ate College. The basic functions of thedissertation committee are as follows:

1. overseeing the development andapproval of a dissertation proposal,

2. providing guidance while the can-didate conducts the dissertationstudy/analysis,

3. reviewing the dissertation manu-script, and

4. conducting an oral defense of thedissertation.

Members of the program committeemay also serve as members of the dis-sertation committee; however, the com-mittees may have different member-ships. At least one member of the dis-sertation committee must be a facultymember of the Division of Curriculumand Instruction. The dissertation com-mittee chair must be a faculty memberdesignated eligible to serve in this ca-pacity by the interdisciplinary commit-tee and the dean of the Graduate Col-lege.

Program of Study. The program re-quires at least 93 semester hours, or theequivalent of four academic years offull-time study, beyond the bachelor’sdegree. Students with a master’s de-gree directly related to the anticipatedcourse of study must complete a mini-mum of 54 semester hours beyond themaster’s degree. At least 30 semesterhours in the approved program ofstudy, exclusive of research and disser-tation, must be taken at ASU. Eachcandidate must also register for a mini-mum of 24 semester hours of researchand dissertation credit, with the disser-tation directed by a dissertation chairapproved by the interdisciplinary com-mittee and the dean of the GraduateCollege. The program of study is di-vided into four general areas:

1. Ph.D. core course requirements,2. professional focus,3. cognate study, and4. independent research and disserta-

tion.

Core Course Requirements. All doc-toral students in the College of Educa-tion are required to complete desig-nated core courses.Professional Focus. With the adviceand approval of the student’s programcommittee, a student must select a se-quence of courses and experiences de-signed to focus subsequent efforts on aparticular aspect of curriculum and in-struction, culminating in a dissertation.The professional focus is divided intothree areas:

1. methods of inquiry and analyticaltools associated with empiricalstudy of curriculum and instruc-tion,

2. a substantive knowledge base inthe area of concentration, and

3. internships in research and collegeteaching.

Semester hours counted under onecategory may not be counted under an-other. Courses (42 semester hours) aredrawn from program courses in thestudent’s area of concentration.Cognate Study. Students are expectedto choose interrelated courses (12 se-mester hours minimum) outside theirdeclared area of concentration that havea clear link to their dissertation efforts.Cognate studies can be drawn from abroad range of offerings, both withinand outside the College of Education.

Foreign Language Requirements.None.

Core Course Analysis. A core courseanalysis is required of all students be-fore the completion of 24 semesterhours of graduate study.

This written analysis is to be in theform of a paper in which the studentdescribes key concepts and ideaslearned in the Ph.D. core courses asthey relate to the student’s area of con-centration. The purpose of this activityis to allow the student to demonstrateawareness of the key concepts from thecore courses and to demonstrate clearand effective writing skills.

Annual Report for Ph.D. Candidates.At the end of each school year (beforethe last day of final exams), the Ph.D.

advisor of each student prepares a re-port to be reviewed by the director ofthe executive committee. Copies of thereport are distributed to the members ofthe student’s program or dissertationcommittee. The report from the men-tor, which is accompanied by thestudent’s transcript and an up-to-datecurriculum vitae, includes the follow-ing:

1. a statement concerning the status ofthe student’s program of study(with a copy);

2. a statement of the status of prepara-tion toward the student’s compre-hensive examination (including aprojected date for completion);

3. a statement about the student’s per-formance in course work; and

4. a statement about the student’s ac-complishments during the aca-demic year (and summer, if appro-priate), including research activity,writings, presentations, and profes-sional accomplishments.

Comprehensive Examinations. Uponcompletion of course work in the Ph.D.program of study and before admissionto candidacy and the start of the disser-tation research, the student is examinedin the areas of concentration, cognatestudy, and methods of inquiry and ana-lytical tools. The examination is de-signed to test the student’s accumula-tion of interdisciplinary knowledge andability to communicate across disci-plines. The comprehensive examina-tion is developed and administered bythe student’s five-member programcommittee.

Dissertation Prospectus and Pro-posal. The precis is a 15-page sketchof the dissertation research proposed bythe student. Upon approval of the pre-cis by the dissertation committee, thestudent must develop a dissertation pro-posal. The proposal typically consti-tutes a draft of the first three chaptersof the dissertation, but may vary withthe dissertation committee’s approval.Following approval of the proposal bythe dissertation committee chair, a pro-posal meeting is scheduled. Approvalof the proposal at that meeting indicatesthat the faculty agree that the rationale,review of the literature, method, andproposed analyses are appropriate andthat the study may proceed as planned.If problems are identified in the pro-posal meeting, the dissertation commit-

tee may meet again to hear a revisedproposal or arrange a more relevantway to re-examine the proposal.

Research and Dissertation. Twenty-four semester hours of research and dis-sertation credit are required. Twelvedissertation credits must be reserved forpostcandidacy registration. The disser-tation is designed to be the student’sculminating experience. The disserta-tion must consist of a fully documentedwritten study demonstrating a highlevel of expertise in research and schol-arship in the student’s area of concen-tration. The dissertation should make

an original contribution to inquiry inthe area of curriculum and instructionand be worthy of publication by an es-tablished press as a book or monographor as one or more articles in a refereed,scholarly journal. The dissertationshould not only demonstrate that thestudent is able to conduct quality re-search, but also should be conceivedand carried out in such a way that itshould make a contribution to advanc-ing scholarship in the field of curricu-lum and instruction.

Final Examinations. The final oralexamination in defense of the disserta-

tion is scheduled and conducted by thestudent’s dissertation committee. Acandidate must pass the final examina-tion within five years after completingthe comprehensive examination.

RESEARCH ACTIVITY

Faculty in the interdisciplinary Ph.D.program committee in Curriculum andInstruction are engaged in a variety ofresearch activities. Representative ex-amples may be found under the pro-gram descriptions that correspond tothe areas of concentration of this degreeprogram.
