PSY 8995 Doctoral Project V
This course prepares the doctoral candidate for the development of a final project. It is the last of five courses to accomplish the final project. The focus of study is for the doctoral candidate to work closely with the Chair in refining Chapters 1-5. Feedback from all three committee members is incorporated into the final Doctoral Project draft prior to submission for university approval. In some cases, assistance from an editor for any grammatical, APA, or formatting requirements is recommended. Upon receiving approval of the written manuscript from the Dean, the candidate prepares to orally defend his or her Doctoral Project. Preparation includes the development of a poster board and PowerPoint for the defense. The doctoral project is intended to make a significant contribution to the field of Psychology and provides an opportunity for doctoral candidates to integrate and apply theoretical and practical knowledge gained in the degree course work. The final grade for the course is either Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U)
