Ph.D. in Global Leadership
  

  • RES 8001 - Doctoral Research Seminar and

    Prerequisite(s): None.
    Under the principle guidance of the course instructor and in consultation with the dissertation chair, students develop the dissertation prospectus, complete a mock defense, and complete an IRB certification. Using key gaps found in the literature and research strategies to address those gaps, the qualifying paper may serve as the springboard for the dissertation topic. The dissertation prospectus presents the research problem, study purpose, justification (significance, feasibility, and researchable), and definition of terms; a brief synopsis of the literature, including research gaps, research questions, research hypotheses, and theoretical framework; and, the proposed research methods (research design; population, sampling plan, and setting; measurement/instrumentation; data collection procedures and ethical considerations; methods of data analysis; and, evaluation of research methods). Students that make sufficient progress, but do not complete all the course requirements by the end of term, will receive a grade of IP (course In Progress), and must next enroll in RES 8002 (1 credit) up to a maximum of six terms. Final grading is the responsibility of the course instructor who will seek input from the dissertation committee chair and is Pass (P)/Fail (F) or No Pass (NP). *Requires successful completion of all required core and specialization course work, the additional degree program requirements, residency and continuous enrollment, progression requirements, the qualifying paper, and recommendation to doctoral candidacy. Credit(s): 3
  

  • RES 8002 - Dissertation Proposal Development

The course serves two purposes: (1) Students that made sufficient progress in RES 8001 but did not complete the prospectus and mock defense, and received an In Progress course grade (IP) during the first term of enrollment in RES 8001, may continue to work on the prospectus and mock defense with the RES 8001 course faculty for additional terms and enroll in RES 8002. (2) Students that passed RES 8001, enroll in RES 8002 in the dissertation chairs section, form a dissertation committee, develop the dissertation proposal, successfully defend the dissertation proposal before the dissertation committee, and submit an IRB application. A dissertation proposal includes completed first three chapters of the dissertation, and relevant front and back matter. The IRB application, which includes the Research Protocol, certifications and signatures, and curriculum vitae of the principal investigator, is submitted to the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects Research (IRB). A maximum of 6 terms of RES 8002 may be taken. Final grading is the responsibility of the Dissertation Committee Chair and is IP grade or P grade.
