Course Schedule Option B for students that entered the DOL program prior to Fall 2004

Students may select from two schedules (A & B) of course offerings to complete the 66-credit doctoral degree. Ideally, students in concert with their mentor will identify the preferred course schedule at the end of the second term of study.

YEAR THREE
Seventh term	one specialization course (6 cr.) & LDR 8567 (3 cr.) = 9 cr.
Eighth term	one specialization course (6 cr.) & LDR 8568 (3 cr.) = 9 cr.

.	In this schedule, students with NSU specialist degree credit would register for LDR 8566 & LDR 8567 in the sixth term and LDR 8568 in the seventh term of study. The student would register for LDR 8569 in subsequent term(s) if the dissertation has not been completed.
