For questions related to the requirements for the PhD program, please contact the Director of Graduate Studies.  

Each student, in consultation with their program committee, will plan additional 21 hours of graduate coursework from any department at the University of Arizona in both the area of specialization and in any areas of speech, language, or hearing where the student may be deficient. 

In the area of specialization, any chosen course should meet the following conceptual criteria:  

1. Provides core information related to the student's proposed line of research. 

2. Provides tools for the conduct of research (e.g., statistics, programming, measurement, technologies employed in research) 

3. Contributes to the development of a conceptual theme underlying the student's training program.

The Graduate College requires that a student complete a formal minor course of study.  The minor is to reflect a student's research interest with specific coursework determined by the minor department.  The Graduate College requires a minor of at least 9 units of graduate-level coursework and chosen from the list of Graduate Programs found at this link: http://grad.arizona.edu/programs/.  It is solely the responsibility of students and their advisers to know and understand the requirements for a minor from any specific department. Although there is a minimum of 9 units required by the Graduate College for a minor, many departments require more than 9 units.

Please refer to the Graduate Student Handbook for students who are pursuing this program of study.
