Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
4.01
Notice of Intended Candidacy. Notice of intention to proceed to candidacy for the Ph.D. Degree is to be given as early as possible in a graduate student's career, preferably by the end of the first term of graduate study, to the Graduate Division through the department or graduate group of his/her major field of study.
4.02
Residence Requirement. The minimum residence requirement for the Ph.D. Degree is two years, one of which must be spent in continuous residence at the University of California, Riverside. Graduates of the University or other approved candidates may complete a part of their residence requirement elsewhere, subject to the approval of the Graduate Council. However, no graduate student may be recommended for the Ph.D. Degree except upon completing at least one year of residence at the University of California, Riverside, devoted to such a course of study as the Graduate Council regards as a proper year's work.
4.03
Foreign Language Requirement. Each department or graduate group shall determine whether or not a reading knowledge of one or more foreign languages shall form an integral part of the student's preparation for the doctor's degree. Satisfaction of a foreign language requirement shall be demonstrated, subject to approval of the department or graduate group, under one of the following options: (a) written or oral examination administered by the department or graduate group; (b) Educational Testing Service Graduate School Foreign Language Test; (c) satisfactory completion of a course at a specified level. Evidence of satisfaction of the requirement will be provided to the Dean of the Graduate Division for each student where appropriate. (Am 11 Dec 69)
4.04
Program of Study. The student's program of study must be approved by the Graduate Council, embrace a field of investigation previously approved by his/her department or graduate group, and extend over the full period of study. However, recommendation for the degree is based on the attainments of the candidate rather than the duration of his/her study. The field of study chosen by the student may lie in one department, except for essential related subjects, or in a combination of departments.
