EPCE 6355, Scholastic EPCE 6350, Seminar in EPSY 5349, Seminar: Writing and Counselor Education: Mixed Methods Teaching Research Research Fall (Year 3) EPCE 7000, Research Qualifying Examination Counseling Core: 27 hours (9 courses) Research Core: 15 hours (5 courses: EPSY 5381, 5382, 5349, EPCE 6350, and one additional research course) Foundations: 9 hours (3 courses: EPCE 6350 (Scholastic Writing), EPSY 5380 and 5385) Specialization: 15-21 hours (5-7 courses) Counseling Issues: 9-15 hours (3-5 courses) Qualifying Exam: 1 hour (EPCE 7000) Dissertation: 12 hours TOTAL: 94 hours Advisor/Advisory Committee Following admission to the Counselor Education Program, the Coordinator of the Counselor Education Program will assign a temporary advisor. In instances where the student wants to change advisors, for whatever reason, he/she should contact the Coordinator of the Counselor Education Program and request that another advisor be assigned. In requesting a faculty member to serve as advisor for course selection, major advisor or chair for the Formal Assessment, Qualifying Examination, or Dissertation, students must recognize that faculty may decline. In deciding whether faculty can accept the request to serve as major advisor (chairperson) of the doctoral committee or simply as member of the committee, the faculty member will consider his/her current advising and teaching load, review his/her expertise to advise on a particular topic (e.g., dissertation) and performance of the student (both academic and non-academic) in the program. Therefore, students should not assume that a faculty member will serve in an advisory role or as a member of the Doctoral Dissertation Committee. The final decision to accept the request remains with the faculty member. Please note that the faculty members have the same semester schedule as you. Faculty are not on duty when students are not in classes, during breaks, or after graduation each semester. During those times, faculty will not respond to program questions nor will they read proposals, dissertations, or exams. Temporary Advisor After a student has been admitted to the doctoral program, he or she will be assigned an advisor by the Program Coordinator. This temporary advisor will advise the student on academic matters until the student is ready to complete the preliminary assessment of previous and present coursework. A Time Line (see Appendix D) is provided for students to help them plan for important milestones in their doctoral program. Doctoral Advisory Committee
