Students must demonstrate satisfactory performance on the Doctoral Qualifying Examination before admission to candidacy. The Qualifying Exam is composed of three distinct sections that represent expected areas of student competency (Synthesis of Math Education Research, Utilization of Professional Expertise, and Evaluation and Design of Research Studies). A student’s cognate area is viewed as connected to his or her math experiences, rather than a separate and unrelated area. As such, the cognate will be embedded into the QE as appropriate. Dissertation: 4 hours Residency
Students must be registered for nine (9) hours of coursework, two semesters in a twelve-month period. The expectation is that students will work no more than half time employment during the residency period.
