An outstanding instance of training students to conduct their own research projects is the research course sequence preparing students in public administration to conduct and present the findings. . . . A master's degree typically requires 36 hours beyond the baccalaureate. The Ph.D. in Geography requires a minimum of 46 credit hours beyond the master's degree. The graduate faculty has two categories for membership. Regular members are appointed for terms of up to five years and must have met established school and departmental criteria .
Adjunct appointments vary based on the responsibility of the individuals.
Adjunct membership must be recommended by the department chair and school dean and approved by the Dean of the Graduate School. Terms of appointment are recommended to the Dean of the Graduate School, who makes the final decision. Persons who are not approved members of the graduate faculty may not offer instruction for graduate credit or serve on graduate committees. Those survey results are compiled and have been summarized. The survey will be administered again during the Spring 1999 semester to include more of the MITC sites.
