PROGRAM STRUCTURE PROCESS QUESTIONS

Question	Answer
What are the program’s requirements?	The Ph.D. Program in Strategic Leadership and Administrative Studies requires the competition of seven (21 credits) Foundation courses, six (18 credits) research courses, four (12 credits) elective courses, and a minimum of 9 dissertation credits. Students are eligible to wave the four elective courses by transferring 12 credits (of grades of B or higher) from their master’s degree.
How many credits does it take to complete the program?	60 credits. However, students who are eligible to transfer 12 credits from their master’s degree the total credits required to complete the program is 48. Also, if a student has already earned doctoral credits and holds ABD status, Marywood University offers an ABD completion program that is fully online, with 9 credits and 9 online dissertation credits (a total of 18 credits). This pathway is specifically designed for career professionals who are seeking to complete their doctoral studies and earn their Ph.D. without taking time off from their careers.
Where are classes held?	Online.
Do you offer courses during the summer?	No. Courses are offered only during the fall and spring semester. However, students who need to satisfy their elective requirements (if they did not transfer all 12 credits from their master’s degree program due to grades lower than B), can take an elective course offered by other departments at the University.
Can I take any electives from other departments?	Yes, as stated above, students who need to satisfy their elective requirements (if they did not transfer all 12 credits from their master’s degree program due to grades lower than B), can take an elective course offered by other departments at the University.
Is there a master course schedule?	Yes. We follow a sequence specified by a master course schedule.
Are there prerequisites?	Yes. You will need to complete SLAS 6009: Quantitative Research Design before allowed to register for SLAS 6010: Advanced Quantitative Research, and you will need to complete SLAS 6010 before registering for SLAS 6011: Statistical Analysis. You also will need to complete all courses before registering for SLAS 6013: Qualifying Seminar, and to pass SLAS 6013 before registering for dissertation credits.
Where can I get more detailed information on the program?	You can read the Program’s Manual.
Is there a comprehensive exam?	No.
Is there a Qualifying Process?	Yes. After the competition of all courses students are required to take and successfully pass SLAS 6013: Qualifying Seminar before allowed to enter the candidacy phase and starting their dissertation process.
Can I take the Qualifying Seminar during the summer or Spring semesters?	No. The Qualifying Seminar is offered only during the fall semester.
Can I take the Qualifying Seminar as an Independent Study course?	No. Although the Qualifying Paper is an autonomous, self-authored paper, the Qualifying Seminar is not an independent study course. It is in lieu of a Comprehensive Exam, administered by a panel of three faculty members. Students may work on their Qualifying Paper during the summer on their own (following the Seminar's guidelines), but then must register for the Seminar during the fall semester and follow the submission process within the specific due dates.
Can I resubmit my Qualifying Paper if I failed the first review?	Yes.
If I failed the second review of my Qualifying Paper, what should I do?	A student who fails the second review of the Qualifying Paper is permitted to retake the Qualifying Seminar one more time only during the next fall of the scheduled seminar. A special seminar will not be created for the returning student during the spring or summer semesters. As such, students must wait a year after their first registered seminar in order to retake the course during its regularly scheduled fall semester.
If a student fails the second Qualifying Seminar course, what will happen then?	A student who fails two registered courses of the Qualifying Seminars (a total of four reviews, two reviews per seminar) will be dismissed from the program.
Can I register for dissertation credits while I am registered for the Qualifying Seminar?	No. Students are not permitted to simultaneously register for SLAS 6013: Qualifying Seminar and dissertation. Only after successfully completing the Qualifying Seminar are students permitted to register for dissertation credits.
Am I required to register for dissertation credits during the summer sessions?	No. Registering for dissertation credits during the summer sessions is optional.
Can I register for dissertation credits without having a dissertation committee?	No.
When can I form my dissertation committee?	You can form your dissertation committee after completing SLAS 6012: Pre-Dissertation Seminar. You must complete the Dissertation Appointment Form, have all members of your dissertation committee sign it, and then email it to the Program Director. You cannot start your dissertation process without first passing the Qualifying Process (SLAS 6013: Qualifying Seminar), forming a committee, and submitting the Dissertation Appointment Form to the Program Director.
How do I form my dissertation committee?	A Dissertation Committee is composed of the Dissertation Committee Chair and two other full-time Marywood University faculty members, or one university faculty member and an outside expert. Committee members are to be invited based on consultation with the dissertation chair. A committee member must hold a terminal degree (Ph.D. or equivalent) and can hold an academic or professional appointment. When an outside expert is invited to be a committee member, then the curriculum vitae of the outside expert must first be submitted to the Dissertation Committee Chair for approval. Outside members who are appointed to the committee are not compensated for their service and serve on the committee voluntarily. Retired or former Marywood faculty may continue to serve on the committee either as a member or as chair, if approved by the Dissertation Committee Chair.
Do I have to get IRB approval prior to starting my dissertation?	Yes.
How do I apply for IRB?	Visit IRB Webpage.
Is dissertation defense conducted online?	Yes (through Zoom).
Do I need Readers in addition to my dissertation committee for my defense?	Yes.

Following the Dissertation title page, the following copyright notice should be affixed on a separate page: "© year - Author’s Name All rights reserved." The left margin must be 1 1/2", the right, bottom and top margins must be 1". These margins must be respected for graphs, charts, illustrations, etc. Use font size 10-12 using the same style of font or typeface throughout.

After Defending the Dissertation Provide the Program Director with an electronic Word copy of the completed dissertation no later than two weeks after successfully defending your dissertation. If you are interested in bound copies of your dissertation you may contact Marywood University's Library. Students are strongly encouraged to present their research to regional, national, or international professional audiences. Research mentors typically are also willing to assist in the development of the student’s dissertation into a manuscript for publication. In these cases, the student is to have first authorship. Students can submit their dissertation for publication in the program's flagship peer-review journal, the Journal of Applied Professional Studies. If, after two years, the doctoral student does not publish his/her data, then the dissertation chair gains ownership of the data and may publish the results as first author.
