PROGRAM OVERVIEW  \nThe PhD program in Hearing and Speech Sciences (HESP) is designed to foster the ability to engage in independent research and scholarship in the typical and disordered processes of speech, language, or hearing. Graduate students in the HESP PhD program engage in an integrated set of research experiences and scholarly activities to prepare them for successful careers in academic and research settings.  \nThe PhD program is a mentorship program in which a student works with a faculty mentor or pair of faculty co-mentors to develop and achieve their own research and scholarly goals. Students in the PhD program are involved in research throughout their time in the program. They are encouraged to work with multiple faculty members, including faculty in other departments to gain an interdisciplinary training experience.  \nStudents are expected to complete all HESP Ph. D requirements within 4-5 years of full-time study. Students engaged in joint clinical programs (MA-SLP+PhD or AuD+PhD) will generally take longer, but students must still demonstrate timely progress. Length of stay in the program must not exceed the time frame specified by the Graduate School Catalogue.  \nThis document contains information regarding both university-wide and program-specific requirements for completing the PhD degree. Each student’s progress through the program will be individualized and largely shaped by their academic and research interests, as well as the guidance of their mentor(s) and committee(s) . While there are some general requirements that apply to all students, this manual also contains several suggested activities and opportunities, the particulars of which will be determined by the student and committee members.  \nII. UNIVERSITY/ GRADUATE SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS  \nUniversity-wide requirements for the PhD degree are defined by The Graduate School and can be found in the Graduate School Catalogue: [https://academiccatalog.umd.edu/graduate/policies/doctoral](https://academiccatalog.umd.edu/graduate/policies/doctoral)degrees-policies/\\#text.  \nThese requirements include, but are not limited to:  \n1) Advance to candidacy within 5 ye","cbCaidljcFtBEYsu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidljcFtBEYsu","pdf",343125,20,"English","# Program Overview\n## University (Graduate School) Requirements\n## Departmental Policies and Requirements\n# Curriculum Requirements\n# Admission to Doctoral Candidacy\n# Research Requirements\n# Mentoring\n# Hearing and Speech Sciences Department Grievance Policy for Graduate Students","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the HESP PhD program?\",\"answer\":\"The program is designed to build students’ capacity for independent research and scholarship in typical and disordered speech, language, and hearing processes.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students advance and meet university graduate school requirements?\",\"answer\":\"Students are expected to advance to candidacy within five years, register for the required minimum dissertation research credits, defend the dissertation or equivalent, and enroll for at least one credit in the graduation semester.\"},{\"question\":\"What determines full-time status for PhD students?\",\"answer\":\"Full-time status is determined by the University’s unit system, including thresholds for units per semester and the relationship between registered units and GA positions.\"}]","PhD Program Manual - University of Maryland Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences - Updated Fall 2024 | PDF",7]
