Each possesses a distinctive rationale taken with equal seriousness by the faculty. Although there are exceptions, the Ph.D. program is designed mainly to prepare scholars for research, writing, teaching, and administrative leadership in highereducation, while the M.A. program prepares students to present scholarship to a more general audience. The M.A. is not, then, a prerequisite or prelude to the doctorate, though it is possible to acquire the degrees in sequence. Applicants to the graduate program are encouraged to work directly toward their ultimate degreeobjective.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition: 0  Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
