Ph.D. in Human Bioenergetics:

Course Requirements

Total Minimum Credits Required for Degree (72 credits):

A minimum of 48 credits (30 credits of core requirements, plus 6 credits of statistics cognate, plus 12 credits of elective cognate area), plus up to a maximum of 30 credits submitted from the Master’s degree in partial fulfillment of the doctoral degree should equal a minimum total of 72 credits. If less than 30 credits are accepted by the department for the Master’s degree and this is insufficient to meet the 72 minimum credits overall, the remaining credits must be taken to reach a minimum of 72 credits for the doctoral degree. Additional courses may be required by a graduate committee to address deficits in a given applicant’s training/academic preparation. In addition, the credit totals for a given program of study may be well above the minimum credit expectations.
