Electronic submission instructions and manuscript/forms submission deadlines can be found on The Graduate School's website under Thesis, Treatise and Dissertation. Combined bachelor's/master's pathways provide academically talented undergraduate students an opportunity to complete both a bachelor's and a master's degree. Successful completion of coursework constituting the student's program of studies, comprehensive exam, master's project, or thesis does not guarantee continuance in a master's degree program or award of the master's degree. University policy prohibits the awarding of more than one degree from a specific degree program due to the overlap of core requirements of that degree program. Departments and other degree-granting programs must publicize their policy on this issue in their Graduate Student Handbook and in the relevant section of the Graduate Bulletin. Retroactive changes are only permitted if the preliminary examination is passed by the end of the seventh week of the semester. Additionally, graduate students completing a project master's program are required to submit a record of their output (e.g., copy of digital file, photographs of an exhibit, footage from a performance, etc.)

To qualify for a master's degree under a thesis program, the student must complete a minimum of thirty semester hours of credit including thesis credit. Recommended to all of our students. Any personal, professional, or financial relationships (e.g. If a graduate student has completed their respective degree requirements, the academic dean of the student's program confirms this, and the student is eligible to be awarded the degree, the University reserves the right to award the degree. The University representative must be a tenured member of the faculty with Graduate Faculty Status and should be free of conflicts of interest with other members of the supervisory committee (see above Supervisory Committee Section).

Electronic forms submission instructions can be found on The Graduate School's website under Thesis, Treatise, and Dissertation. Once the degree has been earned, its possessor should be able to perform the tasks of the profession with a high degree of efficiency. This requirement may not be satisfied by credit earned under the auspices of another law school or through graduate-level courses at Florida State University or Florida A&M University. As noted in the Graduate Bulletin (see Second Graduate Degrees). to The Graduate School in electronic format for storing and cataloging. To ensure that the interests of all parties are protected, the following guidelines should be observed. For the purposes of this policy, immediate family members are defined as a parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, child or grandchild by blood, adoption or marriage. Revisions must be completed and approved within 60 days of a successful defense, or a re-examination will be required per The Graduate School's 60-Day Deadline. Eastern Time, Questions or Comments Potential candidates for this professional degree are selected on the basis of experience, skills, and goals of the students seeking admission to the programs in which the degree is offered.

This policy applies to both current and readmitted students.

The maximum delay in the release of a thesis, treatise, or dissertation to the FSU Libraries' Digital Repository and ProQuest shall not exceed twenty-four months from the date the thesis, treatise, or dissertation is approved by The Graduate School. Only courses numbered 5000 and above are normally to be taken by graduate students. The committee may determine a re-examination is necessary if the thesis had significant flaws and major revisions are need (i.e., the current research will take a substantial amount of work/time to correct), AND/OR the student's oral defense was unsatisfactory. Requests for credit will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis and the College of Medicine reserves the right to determine which credits would be accepted.

Revisions must be completed and approved within 60 days of a successful defense, or a re-examination will be required per The Graduate School's 60-Day Deadline. To be acceptable it must be an achievement in original research constituting a significant contribution to knowledge and represent a substantial scholarly effort on the part of the student. The student will make the electronic dissertation available for review by other scholars and the general public by selecting an access condition provided by The Graduate School. In all cases, the majority of credit must be earned through Florida State University or its official consortial institutions. Apart from the first-year curriculum, graduation requirements include coursework related to professional responsibility, upper-level legal writing and skills training, as well as pro bono service. Financial conflicts of interest would not include the typical practice of hiring a student on a university assistantship in the home unit but would include the student being hired by the major professor's private company.

The supervisory committee will consist of a minimum of four members of the faculty who have Graduate Faculty Status, one of whom is the University representative of the faculty. Thesis-Type Master's Program. Proficiency in a foreign language demonstrated by certification by the appropriate language department, or completion of twelve semester hours in a foreign language with an average grade of at least 3.0 ("B"), or four years of a single language in high school. For more information on enrollment requirements related to dissertation hours, including during the final-semester registration, see the "Student Course Load" section of this Graduate Bulletin. If a candidate applied for graduation in a previous term but did not complete the degree, the application for graduation will be carried forward to the subsequent term. All additional members of the committee must hold Graduate Faculty Status or (in the case of specialized or non-tenure track faculty) co-doctoral or co-master's Directive Status. Joint Graduate Pathways. The department or program chair, or dean of the relevant college may endorse the request if the major professor is retired, deceased, etc. The degree cannot be awarded until the required forms have been completed on The Graduate School's Manuscript Clearance Portal and the final version of the manuscript has been submitted to and approved by the Manuscript Clearance Advisor. If the student has not been enrolled for the previous two terms, readmission is required before registration. The review of academic integrity should be completed prior to the defense. All members of the graduate faculty are invited to attend.

These capstone options exceed the scope of a typical course assignment but are smaller in scope than master's thesis or project-track. The University does not accept experiential learning or award credit for experiential learning. The student's degree program, not the major, will appear on the diploma. For example, a student that defends on August 20 would have to have their manuscript cleared by October 20, even though the Fall semester clearance deadline is later in the semester. After approval by the oral examining committee (which includes or may be the same as the supervisory committee) and completion of the Final Content Approval Form in the Manuscript Clearance Portal, the student should electronically submit the post-defense, final content-approved version of the thesis to the Manuscript Clearance Advisor.

However, for doctoral supervisory committees, under no circumstances can a Committee Chair (or Co-Chair) and University representative be immediate family members, domestic partners, or a married couple. Consult the appropriate departmental section of this Graduate Bulletin for details. Individual departments may impose stricter requirements on physical attendance, e.g., all members must be physically present. It is the responsibility of the Major Professor and the Supervisory Committee to ascertain that the candidate's thesis/dissertation is written in acceptable English or an alternative language, in an appropriate scholarly style. It is the responsibility of the major professor to supervise the preparation of the prospectus and the thesis. Students will fall under either the Semester Deadlines or the 60-Day Deadline (typically whichever is earliest). The electronic dissertation will also be archived by ProQuest. Joint graduate pathways provide qualified master's students with an opportunity to earn two master's degrees or master's/professional degrees from two academic degree programs.

For the purpose of this policy, a "full class week" is defined as a week with five days during which classes are held at FSU. Failure to be listed or obtain the required approvals may result in the thesis being permanently embargoed and unpublishable in any form, and the student may not be allowed to graduate. In addition, the University representative represents the University's interest and is responsible for ensuring that our doctoral graduates are of high quality. The supervisory committee will conduct the examination. Once the student has been admitted to the certificate program, the department will notify the Registrar's Office so it is reflected on the student's official academic record. Students must be listed on an ACUC protocol in order to conduct any animal research. Appendix A: Florida State University Academic Honor Policy; The ready availability of editing services and statistical assistance, and in particular of computer and statistical research design assistance, must not be seen as a substitute for required training and/or coursework; Professional editing services may not become a substitute for faculty advisement and should be confined to language structure; The major professor must be informed and concur before a student seeks assistance in any or all of the editing or statistical assistance areas, and faculty concurrence should be documented as part of the student's record. The University representative must be drawn from outside the student's department (as well as outside the student's degree program for interdisciplinary programs) must be a fully-tenured member of the faculty with Graduate Faculty Status (GFS) and should be free of conflicts of interest with other members of the supervisory committee. medical or other emergency situations, prevent the participation of a committee member, then it may be necessary to arrange for an additional appropriately qualified colleague to attend the defense. Additionally, students completing an undergraduate degree may not enter a graduate certificate program unless they are admitted as a degree-seeking graduate student or post-baccalaureate non-degree student. Financial conflicts of interest would not include the typical practice of hiring a student on a university assistantship in the home unit but would include the student being hired by the major professor's private company.

Doctoral students interested in having a master's degree in-flight (en route) awarded need to meet with their primary academic advisor, major professor, an/or unit head prior to completing the doctoral degree.

Dual Enrollment Request Forms must be submitted for review/approval at the correct time to ensure proper advisement, prior to the graduate student completing 12 hours in the second degree program and before the student has reached the final semester and applied for graduation so there are no delays in graduation clearance. In the case of a Fail, the thesis had significant flaws to the point at which the committee believes the student should discontinue the program, or that a new research direction is required; AND/OR the student's oral defense was unsatisfactory, and another defense of the existing project will not be allowed. The post-defense, final content-approved manuscript and the required online forms must be electronically submitted to the Manuscript Clearance Advisor within sixty days after a successful defense. Students must meet all manuscript and online forms deadlines set by The Graduate School in the semester of graduation or within 60 days of a successful defense (whichever is earliest). Six or more semester hours of graduate credit in one or more of the following fields: art; classical language, literature, and civilization; communication (not to include speech correction); English; history; humanities; modern languages and linguistics; music; philosophy; religion; and theatre. Manuscript Clearance Workshops are also held during each semester. Publication of the thesis through standard media for scholarly work is encouraged.

A student must be admitted to one academic program initially, and after the first semester, may apply and be accepted to the second degree program. If any such conflict of interest exists, it should be reported by the department chair to the academic dean's office of the student's academic unit, who will evaluate the situation for potential harm and take appropriate action. The provisions of this section indicate steps leading to the EdD degree that differ from those leading to the PhD degree. A candidate is admitted on the basis of creative aptitude and professional achievement. After passing the preliminary examination, the student may be required by the department to submit to the major professor, supervisory committee, and departmental chair a prospectus on a research project suitable for a doctoral dissertation. Programs may establish a more stringent policy on supervisory committee membership, but such policies may not conflict with the University policy. Individual departments may impose stricter requirements on physical attendance, e.g. Such a request must be submitted at least one month prior to the expiration of the original period of delay. The first-year curriculum is comprised entirely of required courses in core subjects and the second- and third-year curricula are primarily comprised of elective courses. Note: Manuscripts cannot be subdivided into chapters and disseminated under different access options. The University confers at the master's level the Juris Master (JM), Master of Law Letters (LLM), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS), Master of Accounting (MAcc), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Engineering (MEng), Master of Fine Arts (MFA), Master of Music (MM), Master of Music Education (MME), Master of Public Administration (MPA), Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Science in Planning (MSP), Master of Social Work (MSW), Specialist in Education (EdS), Professional Science Master (PSM), and Specialist (SPE) degrees.

As a condition of undertaking a dissertation program, the student agrees that the completed dissertation will be archived in the University Libraries system. At least twenty-one of these hours must be taken on a letter-grade basis (A, B, C). The purpose of this requirement is to ensure a minimal lapse of time for effective work on the dissertation after acquisition of the basic competence and after delineation of the problem and method of attack. The project in a project master's program does not follow the traditional model of academic, publishable work and does not need to be limited to writing. The purpose of the Scholarly Engagement requirement is to ensure that doctoral students are active participants in the scholarly community. The provisions of this section indicate steps leading to the DM degree that differ from those leading to the PhD degree. Manuscripts will not be reviewed and counted as an initial submission under the following conditions: 1) not submitted via the ProQuest ETD website; 2) poorly formatted based on The Graduate School's guidelines, or 3) otherwise appears incomplete (e.g., multiple sections omitted). The College of Education permits, as part of its experience requirement, the completion of a practicum, undertaken during the period of doctoral studies, in which the student engages in doctoral work-related activities within an external agency. At the same time, the thesis should be submitted electronically to the Manuscript Clearance Advisor in The Graduate School so that the clearance advisor can provide the student with a critique of the manuscript with respect to The Graduate School's formatting requirements. Worldwide Access. It should be recognized that adherence to this policy does not constitute a guarantee that information in the sequestered thesis, treatise, or dissertation will not be disseminated by means other than the written manuscript. It should be noted that some publishers may see a conflict with this level of distribution prior to publication. The FSU Libraries' Digital Repository, in cooperation with The Graduate School, may provide restricted access to ETDs at FSU (i.e., Campus Community-Only Access) in select circumstances.

Depending on the dissertation project proposed, the candidate's supervisory committee may require as much training in such research tools as statistics, foreign languages, computer languages, or other programming techniques as necessary to complete the project. Note: Initial admission to a graduate program at Florida State University must be to one program only. Copyright. All members of the graduate faculty are invited to attend. A doctoral student might be interested in having the additional "master's" credential on their resume or CV to showcase their professional skills for the competitive job market. All requirements for the doctoral degree must be completed within five calendar years from the time the student passes the preliminary examination and is admitted to the candidacy. This decision can only be given once.

If questions or irregularities arise that cannot be resolved within the college, the University representative should contact the Dean of The Graduate School for resolution.

This program must be approved by the major professor and the chair of the major department. Academic courtesy requires that the dissertation be submitted to each member of the supervisory committee at least four weeks before the date of the oral examination. Each academic unit with a doctoral program should include a program specific statement in its Graduate Handbook describing how its students can meet the Scholarly Engagement requirement. After the defense, students submit the final content-approved version of their manuscript, incorporating changes requested by their committee as well as those requested by the Manuscript Clearance Advisor. At least twenty-one of these hours must be taken on a letter-grade basis (A, B, C). All committee members and the student must attend the entire defense in real time, either by being physically present or participating via distance technology. Any graduate coursework previously taken and shared/double-counted will no longer apply. The preliminary examination is designed to test scholarly competence and knowledge and to afford the examiners the basis for constructive recommendations concerning the student's subsequent formal or informal study. "Incomplete" grade changes or any other grade changes should be submitted prior to the posting of the degree. Students must provide "reasonable justification" for their request. For formal admission requirements and procedures, students should contact the department offering the certificate program. Immediate family members, domestic partners and married couples are restricted from serving together on the same supervisory committee in any capacity as this could potentially lead to a perception of bias. For term specific deadline dates, please refer to the "Academic Calendar" in the Registration Guide. Pass with Major revisions. Master's level students are expected to demonstrate an understanding of the research process, and/or creative or problem-solving activity or application of the knowledge appropriate to their discipline. The announcement must be submitted electronically on The Graduate School's Manuscript Clearance Portal and will be posted on the Defense Calendar on The Graduate School's website. If exceptional emergency circumstances, e.g. Consult the chair of the major department for details. A decision of Pass for the defense of thesis requires at least a majority approval of the committee. The goal is to prepare students to be scholars who can independently acquire, evaluate, and extend knowledge, as well as develop themselves as effective communicators and disseminators of knowledge. Before writing the thesis, the student should become familiar with the University's manuscript formatting and clearance requirements. After the restricted time period, the document will be made freely available through worldwide access (option above) in the FSU Libraries' Digital Repository and on ProQuest according to the publication option selected by the student during manuscript clearance. This responsibility begins with appointment to the supervisory committee and ends with the defense of the dissertation. Note: Completion of undergraduate courses will not count toward a graduate certificate. Individual programs are planned to increase the likelihood that prior to students reaching the preliminary examinations they will have gained sufficient mastery of their field to complete them successfully.

There is no University-wide residence requirement for the master's degree beyond that implicit in the limitation upon transfer credit, the recency of work requirement, and the full-time student load requirement. The results of the examination will be reported to the Office of the University Registrar for inclusion in the student's permanent record. The Executive Committee certifies the candidates are eligible to receive the Doctor of Medicine Degree.

Joint graduate pathways share academic content that allows a student to expand their breadth of knowledge and content expertise to include additional domains not covered in a single degree. Students should submit their manuscript to The Graduate School at the same time that the manuscript is submitted to the committee prior to the defense (but no later than the pre-defense manuscript submission deadline in the semester of intended graduation). If the appropriate deadline is missed, the student's semester of graduation may be delayed and/or they must be re-examined. Failure to be listed or obtain the required approvals may result in the dissertation being permanently embargoed and unpublishable in any form. 4000-level courses may be credited toward a graduate degree but cannot count in a student's minimum thirty total semester hours of graduate credit or graduate GPA. Fail. All conditions of admission must be met; in addition, there are usually other departmental requirements which must be met. The capstone option may take any format and students are not required to submit evidence of the completed work to The Graduate School, only to their unit. Students can take the preliminary examination for admission to candidacy a maximum of only two times. The particular scholarly work in question should be reviewed prior to such assistance, so that issues of scholarly form and content have been dealt with in advance of the use of such services. This appeal will be reviewed by a committee composed of the student's primary academic dean the Dean of The Graduate School, and the University Registrar.

A supervisory committee's judgments on the quality of a student's thesis should be independent, unbiased, and based solely on the academic merits of the work before them. In the latter case, additional transfer credit may be allowed to the extent of the additional required hours. The department or college must enter the composition of the supervisory committee into the online Graduate Student Tracking system in a timely manner, but no later than the second week of classes in the semester that the student intends to defend. This decision is required if a student completes a re-examination and does not earn a Pass. Coursework-only programs are not required to include one of these capstone options by the university. For example, a program may choose to stipulate that more than the minimum number of committee members hold Graduate Faculty Status in the program or must be members of the tenure-track faculty. The typical language of the dissertation, treatise, or thesis is English. The legal curriculum is designed to fit the goal of providing students with the professional skills and core knowledge necessary to engage in legal or law-related careers, while complying with standards prescribed by the American Bar Association and the Florida Bar. The degree is granted only to students who: l) have mastered definite fields of knowledge so that they are familiar not only with what has been accomplished in their specific fields but also with the potential and opportunity for further advances; 2) have demonstrated the capacity to do original and independent scholarly investigation or creative work in their selected fields; and 3) have the ability to integrate their selected fields of specialization with the larger domains of knowledge and understanding. Programs seeking exceptions can apply to the Graduate Policy Committee (GPC). Responsibility for suggesting the time, designating the place, and presiding at the examination rests with the major professor. At the time of the annual review, changes to the plan should be noted and approved. Completing the certification program coursework without proper admission to the program could jeopardize future enrollment opportunities in certificate program courses or the recognition of the completion of the certificate program by the university. All non-English-language dissertations, treatises, or theses must have the preliminary pages and main section headings in English. This option makes the ETD freely available worldwide via the FSU Libraries' Digital Repository. The supervisory committee must consist of a minimum of three members of the faculty who have Graduate Faculty Status, one of whom is designated as the major professor. After the first semester, the student may apply and be accepted to the second degree program desired.

The Juris Doctor (JD) degree is awarded by the College of Law to students who have satisfactorily completed coursework and related requirements equivalent to three academic years of full-time enrollment.

Publication of the dissertation through standard media for scholarly work is also encouraged. Transfer credits will be considered only for first year or second year courses. The student must pay the "examination only" fee.
