SYMP801 Doctoral Symposium I

Doctoral Symposium I provides first-year doctoral students with activities designed to develop foundational skills for doctoral study and an orientation to the doctoral dissertation process. Students participate in both the onsite Doctoral Symposium and online classroom activities in the second quarter of the first year of study. Students prepare for and attend Symposium during the 5.5 week course. Post-symposium course work is designed to help students prepare to progress through the next year of the doctoral program. The course leverages the student’s experience in the Symposium workshops to develop an understanding of the dissertation journey. Successful completion of all specified activities and requirements of the Doctoral Symposium and assigned deliverables are required to pass this course.
