Program Residency (Credit) Requirements A minimum of forty-two credit hours beyond the masterâ€™s degree are required for the Ph.D. degree apportioned as follows: A minimum of 30 credit hours of course work corresponding to 10 or more courses is required. A minimum of three credit hours of research culminating in a prospectus for the dissertation is required. Candidates who do not complete their prospectus within the prescribed time will register for an additional three credit hours of prospectus research giving them additional time to complete the work. A minimum of 9 credit hours of dissertation research is required. Candidates will register for 3 credit hours of dissertation research per term while conducting the dissertation research. During these three academic terms, each 3-credit enrollment will be considered equivalent to full-time status. Candidates must register on a Continuing Registration basis upon completion of the 42 credit-hour requirements if they have not completed their dissertation. The minimum of 42 credit hours beyond the Masterâ€™s degree presupposes that the applicantâ€™s Masterâ€™s degree has been approved by the academic unit managing the UNH Ph.D. as being sufficiently preparatory to that program. Full-time or part-time study may be pursued, subject to all time and qualitative requirements for the degree being satisfied. However, regardless of the mode of study, a candidate is required to devote at least three consecutive terms, or the equivalent, of full-time study for the dissertation research in residence at the main campus (or at a location appropriate to the dissertation research as approved by the dissertation committee and the Associate Provost for Graduate Studies.) Time Limits It is expected that full-time students complete the 42 credit hours of course work, prospectus research, and dissertation research and writing within four calendar years. Students who have completed the 42 credit requirement without having actually completed the dissertation must register on a Continuing Registration basis. The maximum time allowed to earn the Ph.D. with the applicant having the Masterâ€™s as a base is six years from the time one enrolls in the doctoral program. Under extraordinary circumstances and upon approval of the dissertation committee, the Dean of the College, and Associate Provost for Graduate Studies, an extension may be granted to complete the dissertation research, its defense and submittal to the Graduate School.
