Topical Areas of Study: The number of new courses needed for each
specialization is anticipated to be small because each consortium-member
institution is currently recognized for expertise in a given field that will
become that member's specialization. Specializations do not need to be limited to
one university, but an effort must be made to maintain quality and
consistency in the content taught. Requirements can be met by
utilizing a mentor/tutorial instructional relationship between a
selected faculty member and an advanced graduate student. This
instructional procedure will enhance the opportunity to use current
expertise and decrease the number of potentially low enrollment
courses in specializations.

Internship (6 credits):
Internship is designed to provide doctoral students with the
opportunity to test and experiment in industry, research
organizations, government agencies, and other appropriate experiential
ventures associated with technology utilization, transfer, and
innovation for the express purpose of developing knowledge in the
specialization. A personal assessment portfolio will be developed as a
part of the internship experience.

Research Core (27-33
credits): The research component of the program is composed of course
work in research design, research methodology, and statistical
analysis. A dissertation of eighteen credits shall be completed after
advancing to candidacy for the degree.

General Technology Core (15 credits):
The general technology core of studies is designed to provide a conceptual
framework for studies in technology. This core emphasizes the relationship of
technology to the societal context from which it operates. The core will be
taught using internet technologies, or other approaches capitalizing on the
unique expertise of professors at consortium member institutions. These courses
will be required of all students.

Cognate Studies (12-18 credits):
The cognate area of study may be inclusive of previous graduate work and is
designed to provide concentrated study in technology. Recommendations for
approval shall be made by the student's program committee.
Topical Areas of Study:
The program planning committee will review previous graduate level course work
to determine the appropriateness to the objectives of the degree program. If
appropriate previous work is not identified, the program planning committee
may, working cooperatively with the graduate student, define a cognate area of
study. The Doctoral Student Program Planning Committee in reviewing
the cognate area should anticipate that the student may have course
background in instructional strategies including curriculum design,
methodology, evaluation, and delivery systems if he/she is interested
in teaching at the post-secondary level. If deficiencies in the
instructional strategies area are found, the planning committee may
recommend procedures or courses which can be used to rededicate the
deficiency. It is permissible to have the total number of credits
awarded for previous course work plus the number required to rectify
deficiencies exceed the 12-18 range in the cognate area. These credits
cannot be used to decrease requirements in the other areas of study.
